Question
Chapter 26.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How do the similarities and differences between seedless vascular plants and non vascular plants influence function in these plants.
Introduction:
The vascular system in plants is the assemblage of the conducting tissue with supportive fibers association. The water and dissolved minerals are transported by xylem and the food is transported to all parts of plant from the leaves by phloem.
