Explain why non-vascular plants like mosses are short and must live near water?

Because it has a weird smell
The male gametes in the gametopyte of mosses and several other non-vascular plants are motile and reach the female gametophyte by swimming through water, that is why these plants are short lived and thrive well near water.

Describe the difference between a vascular plant life cycle and a nonvascular plant life cycle?
In term of reproduction within the life cycle to main difference is that seed plants spread seed in order to reproduce whereas seedless vascular plants spread spores in order to continue the life cycle.
Compare and contrast the nutritional needs of the gametophyte and the sporophyte of mosses and spore-bearing vascular plants and seed-bearing vascular plants?
The gametophyte of moss is the dominant structure
What plants grow in the polar regions?
The plants that grow in polar regions are Lichens,Mosses,Algae and fungi, they can stand the heat and coldness at night.Also there are saxifrage, bearberrys arctic willows arctic moss polar fire and Aqapanthus they are all plants that grow in the polar regions. There are many more I think i will find out and improve answer when I find out. Hope this helps guys.Lichens, Mosses, Algae and Fungi because they can stand the harshly cold temperatures at night. Hope that helps!!!There is a short growing season in the polar region. The only plants that grow there are lichens, mosses, liverworts, and some arctic willows.
Tall is dominate over short The genotype of a short plant is what?
Tall = T short = t Tall plants genotype would either be TT or Tt, and short plants genotype would be tt.
What part of the plant anchors the plant?
their roots or rhizomes in mosses and ferns
Why is haircap moss a nonvascular plant?
A vascular system helps plants grow tall by transporting water and nutrients from the soil to the high branches and leaves. Moss does not need a vascular system because it is a short plant that stays in close contact to it's nutrients/soil
What plants are on mount McKinley?
Over 650 species of flowering plants, mosses, lichens, fungi, and algae grow on Mt. McKinley. Only plants that have adapted to the harsh winters and short growing season can survive on Mt. McKinley.
What is so special about moss?
that they're short, nonvascular, and produce spores
Describe the difference between a vascular plant life cycle and a nonvascular plant life cycle?
In term of reproduction within the life cycle to main difference is that seed plants spread seed in order to reproduce whereas seedless vascular plants spread spores in order to continue the life cycle.
What are the natural vegetation in frigid zone?
There ARE vegetations in the frigids zones: "The plants of the relatively infertileArctic tundra (lichens, mosses, grasses, cushion plants, and low shrubs) spring to life during the short summer season and remain dormant for the remaining ten months of the year."
What biome has mosses lichens grasses short small roots smll leaves?
Tundra
Are wild flowers vascular or not?
Short answer - yes. Algae, mosses, liverworts and hornworts are non-vascular.
What does non nonvascular mean?
Non-vascular plants is a general term for those plants without a vascular system (xylem and phloem). Although non-vascular plants lack these particular tissues, a number of non-vascular plants possess tissues specialized for internal transport of water. Non-vascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves, since each of these structures is defined as containing vascular tissue. The lobes (rounded parts) of the liverwort may look like leaves, but they are not true leaves because they have no xylem or phloem. Likewise, mosses and algae have no such tissues. All plants have a life cycle with an alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte, but nonvascular plants include the only plants that have a dominant gametophyte generation. In these plants, the sporophytes grow attached and are dependent on gametophytes for taking in water and other materials. Non-vascular plants grow from spores.
Which is the only flora seen in the tundra region of Central Europe?
mosses, lichen, and short stubby trees
Are red raspberries long-day plants or short-day plants?
They are short-day plants.
Suppose you found a tall plant living in the desert do you think it would be a vascular plant?
some desert plants are short but most of them are tall. the short ones are short because of the terrible sand storms and not much rain. and if your talking serious, I've seen a Cactus that is 42metres tall in the desert!!!
Which plants' flowers produce seeds faster short-dayplants or long-day plants?
short day plants
