Q. Where are spores produced in seedless vascular plants?
sporangia
Q. How do seedless vascular plants adapt?
Seedless vascular plants (lycophytes, ferns, and horsetails) have two major adaptations compared to nonvascular plants: true roots and vascular tissue. These adaptations allowed seedless vascular plants to outcompete nonvascular plants in early colonization of life on land.
Q. What structure is responsible for the growth of seedless plants?
Xylem is the tissue responsible for the storage and long-distance transport of water and nutrients, as well as the transfer of water-soluble growth factors from the organs of synthesis to the target organs. The tissue consists of conducting cells, known as tracheids, and supportive filler tissue, called parenchyma.
Q. How do seedless plants work?
In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns and horsetails, the plants reproduce using haploid, unicellular spores instead of seeds. The spores are very lightweight (unlike many seeds), which allows for their easy dispersion in the wind and for the plants to spread to new habitats.
Q. What is the disadvantage of seedless fruit to the plant?
The major disadvantage to breeding seedless fruits is the reduction in the diversity of cultivated fruits, leading to a higher susceptibility to pests or diseases, which could wipe out all of these genetically identical clones.
Q. What’s the one vegetable that destroys you from the inside?
Potatoes. Due to their high lectin content, excessive potato consumption could lead to digestive difficulties. Despite being a good source of vitamins and minerals, potatoes are actually one of the most problematic lectin-containing foods.
Q. What happens if you eat too much tomatoes?
Tomatoes are packed with an alkaloid called solanine. Consistent research shows that excessive consumption of tomatoes can result in swelling and pain in the joints as they are packed with an alkaloid called solanine. The Solanine is responsible for building up calcium in the tissues and it later leads to inflammation.
