Vascular and Nonvascular Plants

What is a vascular plants?

• Cone bearing plants.

• A plant with spores that grows in the shade.

• Plant with specialized tissues like xylem and phloem.

• Plants that lacks tissue and uses diffusion and osmosis to absorb water.

Nonvascular plants lack vascular tissue.

• True
• False

The Xylem transports:

• Water and Nutrients

• Nutrients, Oxygen and Soil

• Water, Nutrients, Oxygen, Soil

The Phloem transports

• The Food the plant makes to all the cells in the plant.

• Water and Inorganic Nutrients.

• Minerals, Sulfur and Water

Lacks vascular tissue

• Vascular Plant

• NonVascular Plant

• Spore Plant

What are the two main ways that plants are classified?

• Non-vascular plants and Vascular plants

• Trees and shrubs
• Aquatic and terrestrial plants
• Deciduous and evergreen plants

Compare and contrast diffusion with osmosis.

• Diffusion requires a semipermeable membrane, whereas osmosis does not.
• Osmosis is the movement of molecules from low to high concentration, while diffusion is not specific to any substance.
• Diffusion only occurs in gases, while osmosis occurs in liquids.
• Diffusion is the general movement of molecules from high to low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a membrane.

How do vascular plants compare with nonvascular plants?

• Vascular plants have specialized transport tissues; nonvascular plants do not.
• Vascular plants can only grow in water, while nonvascular plants can grow on land.
• Nonvascular plants have roots and stems; vascular plants do not.
• Vascular plants are always smaller than nonvascular plants.

How do sporophytes compare with gametophytes?

• Sporophytes produce gametes while gametophytes produce spores.
• Sporophytes and gametophytes are both diploid and produce spores.
• Sporophytes are haploid and produce spores; gametophytes are diploid and produce gametes.
• Sporophytes are diploid and produce spores; gametophytes are haploid and produce gametes.

Plants that make seeds but don’t have flowers.

• Gymnosperms
• Mosses
• Ferns
• Angiosperms
