Bryophytes have specialized tissues that conduct water (A) and draw up water by osmosis (B). They are highly dependent on water for reproduction and nutrient uptake, and they include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.


What method is used by bryophytes to absorb water and nutrients What is it called?

Bryophytes absorb water and nutrients through their cell walls by a process called osmosis. This allows them to take up water and dissolved minerals directly into their cells for nutrient uptake and distribution.


Why water must be present for the bryophytes to complete the sexual portion of the life cycle?

Water is needed for bryophytes to complete the sexual portion of their life cycle because it allows the motile sperm to swim to the egg for fertilization. This process requires a water medium for effective sperm movement to reach the egg.

Structures in tracheophytes that are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes?

Root hairs in tracheophytes are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes as both structures aid in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. However, root hairs are multicellular extensions of roots, while rhizoids are single-celled structures that anchor bryophytes to the substrate and absorb water.


Is a protein osmosis?

No, protein is not osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids that have various functions in the body.
