Answer:
Answer:
1. Vascular plants are plants found on land that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the body of the plant while non-vascular plants are plants mostly found in damp and moist areas and lack specialized vascular tissues. Both of them have chloroplasts in their cells. This means that the plants have the ability to conduct photosynthesis and produce food by using carbon dioxide and the sun.
2. Xylem is the complex tissue of plants, responsible for transporting water and other nutrients to the plants while phloem is living tissue, responsible for transporting food and other organic materials. The xylem and phloem enter a plant's leaves via their petiole – a short stalk that connects a leaf to a branch
3. Angiosperms, are also known as flowering plants and having seeds enclosed within their fruit. Whereas gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits and have naked seeds on the surface of their leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are configured as the cones.
1. When weather conditions are ideal, some ferns, algae, moss and even fungi, release spores into the air, often carried by the wind, by insects or birds until they land. Spores contain both male and female reproductive organs, which allows these plants to replicate themselves in a form of cloning. For spore-producing plants, the fertilization process occurs after, rather than before, spore dispersal. When the air outside becomes dry, pressure builds up inside the plant. The pressure then forces the plant to eject thousands of small spore cells into the air. Spores can survive very harsh conditions and, since they contain no food matter in them, most predators will not eat them.
2. Cone-bearing plants have two types of cones. It is female cones and male cones. Reproduction begins when one of the pollen grains from inside a pollen sac on the male cone floats through the air to the scale of a female cone. A pollen tube then grows from the pollen grain toward the female ovule. In conifers such as pines, the green leafy part of the plant is the sporophyte; the cones contain the male and female gametophytes.
