Question

the cells in vascular and nonvascular plants are both able to get water, but nonvascular.plants have different methods than vascular plants. How do these differences affect the height of the plants? in three to five sentences, explain this.amd be sure to describe how each type of plant gets water to.its cells

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The cells in vascular plants receive water through specialized tissues called xylem, which transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant. This allows vascular plants to grow taller because the xylem provides a continuous pathway for water movement. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, lack xylem and rely on osmosis and capillary action to absorb water directly into their cells. While nonvascular plants can still obtain water, their lack of specialized transport tissues restricts their ability to grow tall since water cannot be efficiently distributed throughout the plant. As a result, nonvascular plants typically have a low height compared to vascular plants.
