what is the difference between vascular and nonvascular plants?

Only vascular plants have transport tissues; some cells are differentiated into phloem and xylem.

The presence or absence of vascular tissues is used to clarify plants.\n\nIt is because of that vascular tissue that plants are capable of growing to different sizes and heights.\n\nFor example - mosses and lichens have little to no vascular tissue. This is why they are relatively small, and located only near damp places like swamps, bogs, or near the sea coast. Trees, by comparison, not only have cascular tissues, but they have 2 kinds of it! One type of xylem and phloem (the vascular tissues) become the parts that make up the bark, while another type of each, make up the wood of the tree. Basically any timber you buy from the lumber yard, is nothing but primary xylem and phloem.

Hmmm, good question.  I guess I automatically assumed capillaries, but they might not be small enough to be considered capillaries.  On second thought, I'd go with arterioles because these vessels have oxygenated blood in them (meaning they came from the heart), are too small to be arteries but not small enough to be capillaries, and are obviously not viens.

Plants experience growth at the tip of the root / shoot which is the location of the apical meristem. (Meristem being the tissue that contains meristematic cells). \n\nHowever, vascular plants also have meristematic tissue called the vascular cambium. 'Inside' cells of the vascular cambium give rise to secondary xlyem cells while the 'outside' cells give rise to the secondary phloem cells.  \n\nAdditionally, woody plants have an additional meristematic tissue called the cork cambium, which forms the periderm (bark).\n\n\n---- \nCrudely put, the primary growth leads to elongation of the plant, while secondary growth increases its 'girth'

Water is the basic solvent in the nature .In its presence only the biochemical reactions takes place(like photosynthesis, respiration, fat metabolism)\nAbove all water gives turgidity to plants ,with out water plants will wilt  and die, this is what happens when u do not water the plant for a long time

Tissues of vascular plant leaves: Leaves are cloaked by a single layer of cells called the epidermis. It protects the leaf from physical damage and pathogens. A transparent, waxy, colorless cuticle coats the epidermis. The stomata ( small holes) are located on the lower epidermis of the leaf. The stomata allow gases and water vapor into and out of the leaf. Each stoma is controlled by two bean shaped guard cells. The palisade mesophyll is a layer of elongated cells containing chloroplasts found just under the upper epidermis. The majority of photosynthesis takes place within this area. Just below the palisade mesophyll is an area of loosely packed parenchyma called the spongy mesophyll. The spongy mesophyll contains air spaces in which gases circulate. The petiole of the leaf connects the blade with the stem. The vascular tissues pass through with the xylem positioned in the top section of the vein while the phloem occupies the lower section.

Plant cells have Chloroplast... Cell Walls... and Water Vacuoles\n\nAnimals cells... of a centrioul, and food Vacoules.\n\nThose are the main differences of the organells

I do not believe in any elaborate answer because it creates a confusing in the mind of questioner and also the reader therefore I want to give a simple answer to this question that, yes the plant can feel the pain though it has no brain or nervous system. After all the plant is a living organism and all living organisms have certain characteristics of living in which responce to stimuli is one, therefore the plant always shows its responce to the stimulus and in that cases the xylem and phloem together with the water circulation with in it plays a major role.

Plants do not take in Oxygen. They take in Carbon Dioxide (the main gas we exhale) and produce Oxygen.

Flowers drink water with a capillary action.  Capillary action happens when water molecules are more attracted to the surface they travel along than to each other. In paper towels, the molecules move along tiny fibers. In plants, they move through narrow tubes that are actually called capillaries. Plants couldn't survive without capillaries because they use the water to make their food.  There is an experiement you can try at the link below.

plant cells have vacuoles and chloroplasts while animal cells dont. plant cells synthesize their own foods while animal cells dont.\n\nribosomes are the organelles that synthesize proteins using RNA from the nucleus.\n\nI just cant seem to remember what the answer of the third question was.

Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They are contrasted with veins, which carry blood toward the heart.\n\nThe circulatory system is extremely important in sustaining life. Its proper functioning is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, maintenance of optimum pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins and cells of the immune system. In developed countries, the two leading causes of death, myocardial infarction and stroke each may directly result from an arterial system that has been slowly and progressively compromised by years of deterioration.

in the absence of an aquatic environent, some aquatic plants die, and mutated plants with special characteristics, such as seeds, live. these more "fit" plants multiply, and then you have a plant species that can adapt without an aquatic environment. \nthis is similar to (but much more complicated than) bacterial resistance to antibiotics, or crop insects resistance to insecticide.

On a typical dicot stem, look for the vascular bundles to be situated around the outter region of the stem.\nThe monocot's vascular bundles will be distributed throughout...\n\nHere, check out this link. This confused me a little too when I was in Botany.\n\nGood Luck

Yeah plants can grow without sun. those plants are called are non-photosynthetic plants. as they do not have photosynthetic pigments. They are also termed as chemosynthetic plants as they prepare their food by chemicals and not by sun light. As far as water is concrned then no plant on earth gorws without it. Water is essential for every livig animal. Its basic requirement for solutes and solvents to get transported from one cell to another. without it plants will DIe. try growing plants without water, they will shrink and eventually die.
