Nonvascular plants do not have vascular tissue, while seedless vascular plants do. As a result, seedless vascular plants differ in which ways? Check all that apply.

Question

Seedless vascular plants grow larger than nonvascular plants.
Seedless vascular plants grow smaller than nonvascular plants.
Seedless vascular plants grow closer to water sources than nonvascular plants.
Seedless vascular plants grow farther from water sources than nonvascular plants.
Seedless vascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves.
Seedless vascular plants do not have true roots, stems, and leaves.

Answer 1

Seedless vascular plants differ from nonvascular plants in the following ways:

1. Seedless vascular plants grow larger than nonvascular plants.
2. Seedless vascular plants grow farther from water sources than nonvascular plants.
3. Seedless vascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves.

These differences stem from the presence of vascular tissue in seedless vascular plants, which allows for larger size, better support, and more efficient nutrient and water transport, enabling them to thrive in a wider variety of environments compared to nonvascular plants.
