Sporophytes
The plants absorb like a sponge
Plants without vascular tissue, like mosses and liverworts, rely on diffusion to transport materials from cell to cell. They are generally small in size and grow in damp environments where water and nutrients can easily reach all parts of the plant.
Because vascular tissue is the transport system of a plant. if a plant doesn't have vascular tissue it cant transport water and minerals to all parts of the plant if it is big. So the non-vascular plant like moss needs to be small for sufficient distribution of water and minerals etc without a transport system. eg- moss
The vascular system in plants like pines give the plants stength, stability, and ability to transport nutrients around the plant. Non-vascular plants can not grow as tall as vascular plants becasue without the vascular system the plant is not able to transport nutrients great distances easily, and do not have the structural support to grow up.
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
A plant without vascular tissue is known as a non-vascular plant. These plants rely on osmosis and diffusion to transport water, nutrients, and other substances throughout their bodies. Examples include mosses and liverworts.
Within vascular plants is the phloem, the vessel that transports food, and the xylem, which transports water. Nonvascular plants are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They do not have a phloem or xylem.
my understanding is that vascular plants are able to grow tall because of the strength and stability that the vascular tissue provides. so the tall tree in the forest would be a vascular plant
Molecular Transport (in cells) is the movement of materials across a cell membrane. The two kinds of Molecular Transport used in organisms are Active Transport and Passive Transport. Active Transport- materials move across the plasma membrane with the use of energy (like Adenosine Triphosphate) Passive Transport- materials move accross the plasma membrane without the use of energy
Without a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic cells would not be able to maintain their shape, divide, transport molecules within the cell, or move. The cytoskeleton provides structural support and helps to organize cellular components.
Passive Transport
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
