Why mosses are not as well adapted to terrestrial life as ferns?
DimPhnggp8740
Because mosses do not have xylem and phloem as vascular system. Also the dominant plant body in mosses is gametophytic which needs more moist and shady places.

How many types of plants exist in the United Arab Emirates?
Around 678 terrestrial plant species are currently known from the United Arab Emirates, many of which show adaptations to survive in extreme desert environments. As well as flowering plants, a number of ferns, bryophytes and mosses also occur, while the country's marine plant life includes various seaweeds, seagrasses and aquatic microalgae
Nuclear Division in which the chromosome is reduced from 2n to n is part of the life cycle of all organisms except molds ferns insects bacteria or protozoans?
Nuclear division in which the chromosome is reduced from 2n to n is part of the life cycle of all of the following except bacteria. The gametophyte is the dominant generation in mosses.
What is a terrestrial carnivore?
A carnivore is an animal that feeds on other animals. And terrestrial means it lives on land. Hence terrestrial carnivores are land animals that feed on other animals. Eg: Lion, tiger, human, dog etc.

What kind of plants are good to grow in the desert?

How are seed plants better adapted to terrestrial life than ferns and mosses?
They provide some evolutionary advantages: 1) The can remain dormant for days to years until favourable condition for germination. 2) The can be transported long distance by wind and animals.

How do moss and ferns differ?
Ferns are pteridophytes. Mosses are bryophytes. Mosses have rhizoids, simple root like structures, ferns have rhizomes or underground stems. Both ferns and mosses reproduce via spores, produced from the sporophyte and gametes from the gametophyte. Ferns; however, are sporophyte dominant and mosses are gametophyte dominant. The main, most noticeable form of the moss is the gametophyte, a haploid structure. The less obvious moss sporophyte is simply a stalk called a seta and spore capsule. On the other hand the most noticeable part of the fern is the sporophyte, which may be huge in the case of tree ferns like Dicksonia and Alsophila/Cyathea. The very much less conspicuous part of a fern life cycle is the nondominant gametophyte, which takes the form of a cardoid prothallus and produces gametes (sperm cells and egg cells) in archegonia and antheridia. Spores are produced in the spore capsules of mosses. In ferns, whole clusters of spore capsules called sporangia are found huddled in structures called sori (singular sorus) on the underside of the fern fronds. Mosses do not have true leaves. The leaf like structures are haploid and unicellularly thick. Ferns have multicellular, diploid fronds.

Why mosses and liverwort are considered amphibians of the plant world?
Amphibians, like liverworts and mosses are only partially adapted to life on land, having bodies which easily lose water and they still rely on water for sexual reproduction. Both groups of organisms are thought to represent intermediate stages in the evolution towards more advanced forms which are better adapted to life on land.
