Cactus is an example of a vascular plant. They have xylem and phloem that transports food, water, and minerals from roots to leaves. Common examples of vascular plants are trees, grasses, and shrubs.

The lack of features, such as a multi-layered epidermis or bark, means that non-vascular plants don't grow very tall and typically remain low to the ground. As such, they don't need a vascular system to transport water and nutrients. ... Genuine leaves, stems, and roots are all missing in non-vascular plants.

Angiosperms are flowering plants whose seeds are surrounded by fruit. Vascular plants are plants with tubes to carry nutrients and water throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants are plants without transport tubes to carry water and nutrients throughout the plant.

Nonvascular Seedless Plants. ... Vascular tissue is specialized tissue that transports water, nutrients, and food in plants. As they lack vascular tissue, they also do not have true roots, stems, or leaves. Nonvascular plants do often have a “leafy” appearance, though, and they can have stem-like and root-like structures.

Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally.

what can vascular plants do efficiently that nonvascular plants cannot do? Vascular plants can transport or conduct water and other materials within their tissues. ... They have vascular tissues and spores.

All seed plants share two characteristics. They have vascular tissue and use seeds to reproduce. In addition, they all have body plans that include leaves, stems, and roots. Most seed plants live on land.

Xylem and phloem are the two types of vascular tissues, present in plants and together constitute vascular bundles. Their function is to efficiently transport the materials which can be food, water, nutrients, organic materials, etc. between the stems, roots, and leaves of plants.

Defining Characteristics These include an embryo with two cotyledons or seed leaves, pollen with three furrows or pores, flowers in multiples of fours or fives, leaves with net venation, vascular bundles in a ring, a main tap root with side roots and the presence of secondary growth such as wood and bark.

['Plants are multicellular and eukaryotic, meaning their cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.', 'Plants perform photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture the energy of sunlight and use carbon dioxide from the air to make their own food.']

List four characteristics common to all seed plants. Seed plants have roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue, and produce seeds. Compare and contrast the characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Gymnosperms produce seeds not protected by fruit; most have needlelike, evergreen leaves.

Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Phloem is the other type of transport tissue; it transports sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant.
665465
The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant. ... One xylem and one phloem are known as a 'vascular bundle' and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves, stems, and roots.

Xylem is the tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves.
