Comparing Plant phyla Flashcards
Do Bryophytes have true vascular tissue
Bryophytesdo nothave vascular tissue
How do Bryophytes get water
The “stem” has a central core of elongated cells. Water has to reach the cells through this central core of cells.
Do Pteridophytes have vascular tissue
they havewell-developed vascular tissuethat extends from the roots through the stem to the fronds. The vascular tissue consists of xylem and phloem.
How do Pteridophytes get water
Xylem tissue transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the leaves. Phloem transports products of photosynthesis (glucose) down the vascular tissue of the plant for storage in the cells of the root system.
How do Spermatophytes have vascular tissue
Gymnosperms and angiosperms have a well-developed vascular system in roots, stems and leaves.
