What organism can create their own food but do not produce seeds or spores?

Organisms that can create their own food but do not produce seeds or spores are green algae and cyanobacteria. They use photosynthesis to generate their own food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.


Do turtlehead flowers produce spores or seeds?

Seeds


Why do ferns produce spores?

Ferns produce spores as their means of procreation as other plants produce seeds.


What is the difference between seeds and spores?

The main difference between seeds and spores is that spores are not planted in the ground whereas seeds are planted in the ground. Spores fall off of the plants and they are a means of reproducing a plant just like the seeds. Although spores and seeds have similar functions, they have crucial differences. One main difference between seeds and spores is in the size. Spores are much smaller than the seeds. Seeds can easily be seen but spores can only be seen with the help of a microscope. Seeds are fertilized ovules enclosed in a protective coat called testa whereas spores fall off to create a plant somewhere else. Another major difference is that seeds are produced by flowering plants whereas spores are produced by non-flowering plants and fungi. Seeds are enclosed in the fruit of the tree or plant whereas spores are from the underside of the plant. Seeds contain nutrients that are stored in the embryo whereas spores do not store and contain any nutrients. Plants that produce the seeds are known as higher level organisms whereas lower level organisms such as fungus, ferns, mosses ,bacteria and etc. are known to produce spores. Another major difference between the seeds and spores is that seeds are comprised of many cells whereas spores have only a single cell and therefore they are called one celled organisms. Seeds do not need wet lands or excessive water to sprout but spores need swampy or marshy surfaces saturated with water to grow. Spores and seeds are both asexual reproductive structures but spores unlike seeds are produced by plants that have no seeds. Spores have an ability to develop into a new organism whereas it is the embryo in the seed that gives rise to a new plant. Some seeds are haploid or have a single set of chromosomes and some of them are diploid or have two sets of paired chromosomes. Spores are primitive in form and just like seeds are necessary for the ecosystem. Spores help their species to survive the same way as the seeds do but they are not that efficient. Spores can germinate whereas seeds give a head start to the next generations. Summary: 1. Seeds are an efficient way of reproduction whereas spores fall off of a plant to produce next generation organisms. 2. Seeds have an embryo enclosed in a protective coat. 3. Spores are singular organisms whereas seeds have multiple layers. 4. Unlike the spores, the seeds can survive in difficult and less friendly conditions. 5. Spores are too small to be seen by the naked eye.


Do ferns and mosses reproduce by spores or seeds?

Ferns do not produce seeds. Only flowering plants produce seeds.Ferns reproduce by producing spores.


Does club moss produce seeds?

No, club mosses do not produce seeds. They reproduce via spores that are produced in structures called sporangia at the tips of the plant's stems. These spores germinate to form new gametophyte plants.


Does yeast produce seeds?

No Yeast cells produce spores which serve the same function as seeds


Can ginger produce spores?

No, ginger does not produce spores as it is a flowering plant that reproduces through seeds. Ginger is propagated through division of rhizomes rather than spores.

What is a plant like a fern that does not produce seeds?

A plant like a fern that does not produce seeds is known as a fern. Ferns reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Spores are released from the underside of the fronds and develop into new fern plants.
