Algae belong to phylum Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta or Bacillariophyta of kingdom Protoctista, whereas mosses belong to class Musci of phylum Bryophyta of kingdom Plantae...CB
Most of the algae live in marine or fresh water, whereas the mosses live in moist, shady terrestrial habitats...CB
Mosses are anchored to the ground by rhizoids and algae are anchored to the substratum by a structure known as the holdfast...CB
There can be unicellular algae but never unicellular mosses...CB
Although algae do not have true body differentiation in to roots, stems, and leaves, mosses have somewhat differentiation in stems and leaves....CB
Alternation of generations is present in mosses, and there is no alternation of generations in algae...CB

∙ 10y agoSimilaritys: Both are dependent on water, especially for reproduction, they both have reproductive life cycles characterized by an "alternation of generations."
Differences: Algae is simpler structure, being much more like bacterial version of plantlife. The exception to this would be kelp. Most types of algae only need water, sun, and Carbon Dioxide to survive.
Moss or Bryophytes requires shade, acidic soil, and moisture. It's more of a multi-celled organism that spreads itself with spores, in a fashion similar to fungi.

What three phyla make up the bryophytes?
There is controversy, but until it is resolved: traditionally the bryophytes are divided into 3 main groups: Marchantiophyta (liverworts), Bryophyta (mosses), Anthocerotophyta (hornworts). Bryophytes are one of the two main groups of plants. Their distinguishing feature is that they are non-vascular plants. All other plants are vascular. They are spore-producing plants (but not all spore producers are byophytes), and none have flowers.
In what ways are mosses liverworts hornworts similar In what ways are they differ?
The three major groups of nonvascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These low-growing plants live in moist environments where they can absorb water and other nutrients directly from their environment.
What area do plants in the phylum bryophyta grow?
Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are known as bryophytes. They do not have the ability to pull nutrients or water from the ground at large distance. Due to this nature, they live in moist areas such as forests and creeks.
If angiosperm is a flowering plant what is a non-flowering plant called?
There is no single term for non-flowering plants. There are several types of non-flowering plants: bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, and gymnosperms. Mosses and liverorts are called Bryophytes, the simplest of the non-flowering plants. They lack special food and water conducting tissues found in other plants. Seedless vascular plants (plants that have food and water conducting tissues but reproduce by spores, not seeds) include ferns and clubmosses. Gymnosperms include the conifers (Pines, etc.) that produce seeds from cones, not flowers.
What are two characteristics you can observe that distinguish vascular plants from non vascular plants?
non- vascular plants have no vascular tissues and they are not considered as true plant. they are also called as thallophytes. vascular plants have vascular tissues,they are the xylem and phloem. xylem tissue transport water and dissolved nutrients from roots to leaves, while the phloem transports them up to the leaves and other plant parts.they are also called as tracheophytes. the vascular plants have 2 groups and they're spore- bearing and seed- bearing plants. the seed- bearing has 2 groups, angiosperms and gymnosperms. the non- vascular pant has 1 group, the bryophytes.
What are the uses of bryophytes?
Bryophytes are land plants that lack a true vascular system. This division includes liverworts, hornworts and mosses. Human uses for these plants are few, beyond decoration. Some varieties are edible. Other bryophytes have been used for air-purification in a manner similar to vascular plants. They are prevalent in many ecosystems and an important part of the food chain.
How do public-interest groups differ from differ from other interest groups?
public-interest groups work for the bnefits of all citizens.
What are the reproductive structures of bryophytes called?
the male structures are called antheridium and female archegonium
What is the difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes?
The main difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes is that bryophytes are non-vascular plants whereas tracheophytes are vascular plants. Both of them have heteromorphic alternation of generation that means the two generations gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically as well as cytologically different. in bryophytes gametophyte generation is more prominent in which male and female gametes fuse to each other to form zygote which develops into well protected embryo, while in tracheophytes, sporophytes generation is more dominant and gametophyte generation is very small and inconspicuous.
Why are bryophytes considered incompletely adapted to the terrestrial environment when compared with other plants?
They require moisture for fertilization to occur. Their sperm are flagellated.
Fuel as to Fern as what is to byrophytes?
Pioneer Species. Mosses are bryophytes and are often considered a "pioneer species" that will establish itself first in a forest that has been cleared by a forest fire. Ferns and other vascular plants are the "fuel" of the fires and burn out. Then when the forest begins to grow again, the non-vascular plants like the mosses (bryophytes) will grow first.
In what ways are mosses liverworts hornworts similar In what ways are they differ?
The three major groups of nonvascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These low-growing plants live in moist environments where they can absorb water and other nutrients directly from their environment.

flowers, leaves and other sorts of plants
