EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive osmosis is used by nonvascular plants to transport materials to internal cells. Rhizoids are used to transport nutrients and minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonvascular plants are plants that do not have any special internal pipelines or channels to carry water and nutrients. Instead, nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales. Nonvascular plants are usually found growing close to the ground in damp, moist places.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-vascular plants such as liverworts and mosses move water and nutrients by osmosis and diffusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nonvascular plants lack differentiated stems, roots, and leaves, so the body of a nonvascular plant is called a thallus. Like most vascular plants, nonvascular plants have cell walls and chloroplast, so they are able to obtain nutrients through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vascular plants get their nutrition through the transport of sugars by specialized vessels called phloem. All vascular plants have two types of vessels which make up vascular tissue for the purpose of transport: xylem and phloem.
