Sporophytes
The plants absorb like a sponge
have an efficient way to transport materials from one organelle to another
Mosses - they grow on other living things since their seeds are blown away and they eat the plant from the inside out.
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
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.
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
Passive transport is where materials are transported across a membrane without the use of stored energy. Active transport is where materials are transported across a membrane using ATP, or another source of stored cellular energy. Diffusion is where solutes flow across a membrane in response to a concentration gradient, and requires no energy input to occur. Therefore, diffusion is a form of passive transport.
Molecular Transport (in cells) is the movement of materials across a cell membrane. The two kinds of Molecular Transport used in organisms are Active Transport and Passive Transport. Active Transport- materials move across the plasma membrane with the use of energy (like Adenosine Triphosphate) Passive Transport- materials move accross the plasma membrane without the use of energy
my understanding is that vascular plants are able to grow tall because of the strength and stability that the vascular tissue provides. so the tall tree in the forest would be a vascular plant
Within vascular plants is the phloem, the vessel that transports food, and the xylem, which transports water. Nonvascular plants are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They do not have a phloem or xylem.
Passive transport is the process in which dissolved materials move across a cell membrane without using a cell's energy.
