Nonvascular plants obtain water and minerals through passive osmosis. This process gives them no control over the movement of material through the plant but is relatively efficient.

Why are vascular plants able to grow taller than nonvascular plants?

Because vascular tissue is the transport system of a plant. if a plant doesn't have vascular tissue it cant transport water and minerals to all parts of the plant if it is big. So the non-vascular plant like moss needs to be small for sufficient distribution of water and minerals etc without a transport system. eg- moss


Vascular plants can grow taller than nonvascular plants true or false?

True because the tissues allow better growth.


Why is vascular tissue important to plant evolution?

Vascular tissue is important to plant evolution because it allowed for them to grow vertically as the tissue allowed for nutrients to be transported all over the organism. Most of your primitive plants are flat with very simple structures.


What advantage does a vascular plant have over a non vascular plant-?

Vascular plants have xylem and phloem, thus allowing the plant to live on land and not only in watery-marshy areas. Vascular plants are also able to grow bigger and taller.


What is it about the shape of the plant cells that allow plants to grow to be so tall?

Vascular plants use water as their support structure to move fluids Non-vascular plants have to translate water cell to cell by osmosis but vascular plants can just move water through a plant like cars through the interstate


Can vascular plants grow to be quite large?

yes vascular plants can grow to be quite large because they have roots or stems


How do vascular and non-vascular differ?

The different things between vascular and non-vascular is that; A. Vascular grow taller because they have tissue that is able to transport materials faster to longer distances, and won't break if hit by a strong wind. Think of it like a bundle of straws. A lot stronger and better and transporting materials! B. Non-vascular plants lack true roots, stems, and leaves. They have similar structures that do the same thing though. C. Vascular absorb water and nutrients through their roots and pass it along, non-vascular plants absorb water directly through their cell walls and pass it along from cell to cell. D. Vascular plants grow almost anywhere, while non-vascular plants MUST have a wet environment for reproduction to occur. E. Vascular plants can grow from spores, seeds, AND flowers, while non-vascular plants only use spores.


What are five differences between vascular and non vascular plants?

is it possible for the non vascular plants to grow tall? why?


Why do Vascular plants can grow faster?

Vascular plant grow faster because the structure of it allow it to get the nutrient and water it needs faster then non-vascular. The vascular system is the system the plant use to transport water and nutrient. It has 2 pipe called the Xylem for water and Phloem for other nutrients.


Who do non vascular plants not grow as tall as vascular plants like pines or mahogany?

The vascular system in plants like pines give the plants stength, stability, and ability to transport nutrients around the plant. Non-vascular plants can not grow as tall as vascular plants becasue without the vascular system the plant is not able to transport nutrients great distances easily, and do not have the structural support to grow up.


What plants grow from stem?

All Vascular plants grow from stems.


Why can most vascular plants grow much taller then nonvascular plants?

Non vascular plants have no internal "circulatory system" or any means of moving liquid and nutrients around their body. Therefore they need to grow low to the ground and in a moist environment in order to get their nutrients through osmosis through the ground. Vascular plants are able to get their nutrients delivered through the body through veins, allowing them to grow taller.
