<h2>
Vascular and Nonvascular Plants </h2>
Explanation:
Kingdom Plantae on the basis of vasculature is divided into two groups-vascular and non-vascular plants
.
- <u>Vascular plants </u>or tracheophytes have a proper tissue-level organization and true shoot and root structures like leaves, stem, flowers, root etc
- The tissue system or vasculature of vascular plants compromises of vascular tissues like tubular vessels – xylem and phloem
- The xylem transports nutrients to various parts of the body from the leaves.
- Phloem conducts water and other nutrients from the roots to various parts of the plant
.
- These are flowering plants that include the phanerogams – angiosperms and gymnosperms and bears flowers and fruits like the cedars, pine, clubmosses, lilies, sunflower etc.
- Dicots are with tubular vasculature.
- Non-vascular plants or bryophytes with an absence of proper tissue-level organization and true shoot or root systems
- <u>Nonvascular plants</u> are small. Their transport mechanism is poor due to lack of vascular tissues
- These plants are lack proper shoot or root system.
- It includes mosses, hornworts etc.
- Monocots are plants with scattered tube-like vessels
.
It is known as stimulus or the plural form stimuli. It can be external or internal.
1) Store the cells DNA
2) Control cell division and cell growth
The cells that produce pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins during the digestive process is Chief cells. Pepsin is the main digestive enzyme in the stomach that breaks down proteins. Pepsin is produced by the chief cells in the inactive form pepsinogen, which is then converted to pepsin by the hydrochloric acid from the parietal cells.
