The cells in vascular and nonvascular plants are both able to get water, but nonvascular plants have different methods than vascular plants. How do these differences affect the height of the plants? In three sentences, explain this and be sure to describe how each type of plant gets water to its cells.(4 points)
The differences in water uptake methods between vascular and nonvascular plants significantly affect the height of the plants. Vascular plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem, which allow them to transport water and nutrients more efficiently. This enables vascular plants to grow taller as they can access water from the roots and transport it to the rest of the plant. In contrast, nonvascular plants rely on diffusion to absorb water directly through their cell walls, limiting their potential height.

Vascular plants have specialized tissues that efficiently transport water, allowing them to grow taller by accessing water from the roots. Nonvascular plants, on the other hand, rely on diffusion to absorb water through their cell walls, which limits their height potential.

Additionally, nonvascular plants tend to grow in moist environments where water is readily available, as they lack the structural support provided by vascular tissues.
In one to two sentences, identify the purpose of the roots in a plant and how a disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant would affect the plant’s ability to survive.(2 points) dont make it confusing
The roots of a plant serve to anchor it in the ground and absorb water and nutrients. If a disease harms the roots of a flowering plant, it would significantly impact the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, leading to a decreased chance of survival.
Use the image of the rose plant to complete the activity.
An illustration shows a rose flower with its stem.
Describe two adaptations you see on the rose plant, and explain how they are adaptations for defense, survival, or reproduction. Use three to five sentences to explain this.
