Question

he 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 and be sure to describe how each type of plant gets water to its cells.(4 points)

Vascular plants have specialized tissues like xylem and phloem that help transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. The xylem allows water to be transported from the roots to the rest of the plant, which helps support the plant's height. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, rely on diffusion and osmosis to move water from cell to cell. This method is much slower and less efficient than the transport system in vascular plants, which limits the height that nonvascular plants can grow to. Therefore, the differences in water transportation methods between vascular and nonvascular plants directly impact the height that these plants can achieve.
