1. How do vascular plants differ from non vascular plants
Vascular system (TUBES) for water transport
Grow tall
Live in dry areas
Non vascular plants
Lack of tubes for water transport
Low growing - short(no roots)
Live in damp shady places

2. Explain why vascular plants are better suited to life in dry areas
Vascular plants are better suited to dry areas because the well developed vascular system quickly transports water & minerals throughout the plant

3. Would you expect a tall desert plant to be a vascular plant?
A tall desert plant would be vascular. Larger plants have a vascular system to transport water, minerals and food. This system also gives the plant support so that it can grow tall.

4. What are the two major stages of a plants life cycle?
The two major stages of the plant life cycle are: 1) the sporophyte stage 2) the gametophyte stage

5. Life cycle of a plant (sperm cell + egg cell = zygote)
Sperm cell & egg cell fertilize, become a zygote
(sperm cell + egg cell = zygote)
Zygote becomes a sporophyte
Sporophyte produces spores spores develop gametophyte
Gametophyte produce sperm cells & egg cells
Process repeats
