OK for ten points which side of a tree does moss grow on and why?
349625
In our hemisphere, the sun shines on the south-facing sides of trees. This means that the south sides are warmer and drier and that the north sides are cooler and moister. Because moss requires cool, moist environments, it grows on the north side.

Genetics and environment and stuff... oh and gravity! Unless if the tree is on a steep hill.  :-)

A forest has lots of wood, a wood doesnt have lots of forests

Their roots are actually specialized branches (rhizoids) that grow in the ground or into tree bark, on rock, etc. so the whole plant is actually living sideways.  The branches absorb water just like roots would. They have a great capacity for storing water, and most are pretty small, so they don't need as much rain as most plants, just humidity/moistness.  Most surfaces are wet with dew in the morning, and they absorb this.

there are many plants on earth some of them are tall others are short it's not about escaping yes god make them that way but the question is why\nin simple words we can say to survive the tall trees can have more sun energy which it need it to live\nit's not about roots cuz some tall trees have short root but spread horizontally others spread vertically\nthere is a relation ship between the size of the root and the size of the green part not the tall of the tree

A rolling stone gathers no moss - should be 'bryophitic', I think.\n\n"Nomadic fragments of igneous and metamorphic strata, having non-zero quantities of angular momentum, accumulate no forms of bryophitic plant life"

Rain, rain and more rain.  Rain enough to have mud slides and trees down because the soil around their roots has washed away, and flooding and rain, rain, rain.\n\nWe suffered through it a few years ago, and it sounds like we may suffer through it again this winter.  Sometimes I feel like I am going to grow moss between my toes.

I think this is what you're after.\n\nIt is an accident of astronomy that our earth has a tilt of 21.3 degrees.  (That's the current tilt ... it ranges between 21 and 25 degrees every 41,000 years.)  \n\nAs a result, trees far away from the equator see a variable amount of sunlight over the course of one journey around the sun (one year).  Trees (such as palm trees) near the equator (specifically between the tropics) do not see much variability in the sunlight, so the following does apply to them.  \n\nWhen tilted towards the sun, the days are longer, and the sun higher in the sky, and the tree wants as much area dedicated to photosynthesis as possible.  So leaves are good.  \n\nBut when tilted away from the sun, the days are shorter, the sun not as high up, and photosynthesis is more difficult.  The leaves are a premium ... they're consuming more food than they are producing with photosynthesis.  Plus, with temperatures dropping, water in the leaves is in danger of freezing, which burdens the branches with so much extra weight that they can break.  So it is better to shed those leaves for that part of the journey around the sun.  (This is less of a problem with trees, like pine trees, that have needles instead of leaves.)\n\nIs that what your after?  (Great question!)

that's only true in the northern hemisphere. it's because moss likes shade, and the north side of anything in the northern hemisphere is the shady side

1. A- mosses- basic, no vascular tissue, reproduction requiires water\nB- Ferns- vascular tissue present\nC- gymnosperms- seeds\nD- angiosperms- flowers and fruits\n\n2. Monocots have one cotyledon, dicots have 2\n\n3. cotyledons are the first leaves that sprout out of the seed, they contain nutrients for hte seed\n\n4. male- stamen, female- pistil\nSeed- sporophyte, fruit- ovary\n\n5. Photosynthesis is the making sugar/energy from CO2 and light\nTakes place in the stem and leaves (wherever green).  or more specifically, in the chloroplasts, in the stroma and thylakoid membrane\n\n6. Vascular tissue are a transport system, carrying water, minerals and sugar up to all parts of the tree\nAdvantages- grow bigger, compare mosses and trees\n\n7. tropism is the plants tendency to grow\nPhototropism- grow towards light.  light slows down cell elongation in stem that it hits, opposite side grows faster\nGravitropism- roots grow downward.  heavy molecules sink, thus coordinating top cells to elongate

Plants, i think. look in a dictionnary or online.

mosses- the protenema occurs during reproduction from the sporophyte and later grows into a male or female moss gametophyte.

Liberworts look like this\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~dll2/bot105/bryo/liver.htm\n\nMosses\nLiverworts have a thin, leathery body that grows flat on moist soil or, in some cases, the surface of still water.\nMosses have an erect shoot bearing tiny leaflike structures arranged in spirals.\nhttp://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/M/Mosses.html\nhttp://hcs.osu.edu/hcs300/liver2.htm

None.It grows that way.On trees of course.lol
