Early plants far from water were primarily limited by their need for hydration to sustain cellular functions and photosynthesis. The lack of specialized structures, such as deep roots or water retention mechanisms, made it difficult for them to access moisture from the soil. Additionally, desiccation (drying out) posed a significant threat, as they lacked protective adaptations like waxy cuticles or efficient water-conservation strategies. Consequently, their survival and proliferation were largely restricted to moisture-rich environments.

Which of these is a reason that early plants did not move far from water?

Early plants did not move far from water because they needed water for reproduction through the use of sperm cells that swim in water to reach eggs. Additionally, water helped support their structure, preventing desiccation. Without a vascular system to transport water internally, plants had to rely on water availability in their immediate surroundings.


Why can't plants grow on Jupiter?

Far too cold, too much gravity, really high winds of poisonous gasses. Also no soil for plants and no water.


Why do upside down plants grow faster?

Just like the tospey turvey! Well, the water and nutrients travel very fast to the plants because the roots are at the top so the dont have to travel very far down.


Can plants grow better in cold or hot water?

I have just conducted an experiment for my AP Environmental class. My variable was different temperatures of water. I watered plants with 0 degree water, 22 (room temp./control group), 50 and 100 degree water. Surprisingly the 0 degree water the results were best because the plant grew tallest. Then the 22 degree water was not too far behind with about 2 cm shorter plants. With the 50 degree water only one grew to be 24cm while the other one died upon reaching 3 cm. The beans that were watered with the 100degree water did not grow at all. Hence plants prefer cooler temperatures of water to hot temperatures.


Why is it rare to see a bear or shark but insects plants and birds are common?

There are millions of insects, plants and birds. Sharks live under water and most water is too dark to see through it. People have killed so many bears, the bears that are still around tend to live far away from people.

Do all plants live on land?

No, some plants float on the top of water. Like Lilypads.Some live exclusively in water and far under the surface of many oceans, such as seaweed.

Why do desert plants need to water store?

Succulent plants and cacti need to store as much water whenever the rain should happen to fall. As the rain may be far between in desert areas, storing water is vital to help the plants to survive.


Why are desert plants spaced far apart?

There is limited water available in the deserts so plants tend to space themselves to avoid competition from other plants.
