1. what are some differences between vascular and nonvascular plants?
318344
The plants that consist of separate tubular tissues like Xylem and Phloem to transport food, minerals, and water are called the vascular plants, and those that do not show this kind of differentiation of the tissue are called the nonvascular plants.

Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not have seeds. Gymnosperms have seeds but do not have flowers. Angiosperms have vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers.

Summary. A vascular plant consists of two organ systems: the shoot system and the root system. The shoot system includes the aboveground vegetative portions (stems and leaves) and reproductive parts (flowers and fruits). The root system supports the plant and is usually underground.

Non-vascular plants do not have the vascular tissues known as xylem and phloem. They do not have an internal water transport system which is found in vascular plants. Though these non-vascular plants do have stem-like and leaf-like structure, they lack true roots, stems or leaves.

Vascular plants are subdivided into two classes: seedless plants, which probably evolved first (including lycophytes and pterophytes), and seed plants. Seed-producing plants include gymnosperms, which produce “naked” seeds, and angiosperms, which reproduce by flowering.

Differences between plants and animals: Locomotion: Plants generally are rooted in one place and do not move on their own (locomotion), whereas most animals have the ability to move fairly freely. Photosynthesis: Plants contain chlorophyll and can make their own food, this is called Photosynthesis.

The main difference between plant and animal vacuoles is that plant vacuoles are large in size and are single in number whereas animal vacuoles are small in size and are more in number. Vacuoles are more important in plant cells to maintain the turgor pressure. ... Animal vacuoles store nutrients, ions, and water.

Nonvascular plants are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They do not have a phloem or xylem. Nonvascular plants are very small because their lack of a vascular system means they do not have the mechanics required for transporting food and water far distances.

The prominent generation of nonvascular plants is the multicellular haploid gametophyte. ... You should also know that the nonvascular plants do not have vascular tissue or seeds, however, they do have a stomata, a protected embryo, and most have a waxy cuticle. This tutorial also examined seedless vascular plants.

The major difference between bryophytes and vascular plants is the lack of specialized structures to carry water and nutrients in bryophytes. ... Bryophytes also vary in terms of their life stages and dominant forms from higher, vascular plants.

Nonvascular Plants. Nonvascular plants are plants that do not have any special internal pipelines or channels to carry water and nutrients. Instead, nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales. Nonvascular plants are usually found growing close to the ground in damp, moist places ...

While both trees and plants usually have a vascular structure, with roots, stems and leaves transporting food and water throughout the plant, plants typically have multiple soft or slightly woody stems while trees have one hard, woody and tall trunk with few leaves or branches on the lower section.

Answer and Explanation: Algae do not have vascular tissue, this is because the entire plant is in constant contact with water. The entire algae structure acts like a diffusible device that can absorb water and minerals from the surrounding marine environment.

Though they both together function in the growth of a plant. The only similarity between the two is the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), which are said as the circulatory system of the plant and work in transporting minerals, water and other nutrients from one part other parts.

Seedless vascular plants have a waxy cuticle, stomata, and well-developed vascular tissue. Their vasculature allows them to grow to larger sizes than the nonvascular plants, but they still largely occupy moist habitats. ... The seedless vascular plants include species such as ferns and horsetails.

Non-vascular plants, or bryophytes, include the most primitive forms of land vegetation. These plants lack the vascular tissue system needed for transporting water and nutrients. ... There are three main divisions of bryophytes: Bryophyta (mosses), Hapatophyta (liverworts), and Anthocerotophyta (hornworts).

Nonvascular plants do not produce fruit or generate seeds. They also produce spores for reproduction, which is a complicated process.
