What are the 3 vascular plants?
The ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are all vascular plants. Because they possess vascular tissues, these plants have true stems, leaves, and roots.
What are the types of vascular cells?
They consist of long, narrow cells arranged end-to-end, forming tubes. There are two different types of vascular tissues, called xylem and phloem. Both are shown in Figure below.
What are the major groups of vascular and nonvascular plants?
The plant world is conveniently separated into two major groups: nonvascular plants and vascular plants. The nonvascular plants include the bryophytes, while the vascular plants include the ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms (see Chapter 19).
Which is an example of a non vascular plant?
Examples of Conifers, Ferns, flowering, and non-flowering plants are examples of vascular plants, while Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts are examples of non-vascular plants. But most importantly the difference lies in the presence of the vascular system which is xylem and phloem.
What kind of tissue does a vascular plant have?
Vascular plants are the green plants, which have true leaves, stems, roots, and bear fruits and flower, essentially they have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting food, water, and minerals to all parts of the plant.
How are vascular vessels different from phloem vessels?
The vascular vessels in vascular plants are of two kinds, depending on what they transport. The phloem vessels transport the photosynthetic food material to the rest of the plant body. In contrast, xylem vascular vessel aids the conduction of water from roots up to the whole plant.
What makes up the vascular system of the body?
They consist of a highly specialized vascular system or the vascular tissue. Further, this vascular system comprises two major complex tissues such as phloem and xylem. These phloem and xylem are responsible for the translocation of nutrients and water respectively throughout the body.
