Answer and Explanation:

Tracheophyte plants, also known as vascular plants, are those that possess a supportive tissue that can also conduct fluids -The Xileme- and another tissue that conducts nutritious elements produced by photosynthesis -The Phloem-. These plants have a root (basically underground), a stem (aerial), and leaves. All of them together form the corm. And the corm counts with these vascular tissues to which we referred before.  

There are different types of Tracheophyte plants, some of them produce seeds to reproduce and disperse -Spermatophyta-  and some others reproduce and disperse by spores -Pteridophyta-. This last seedless group corresponds to ferns and other similar plants.

Pteridophytes characterizes for having a sporophyte that has stems with leaves and a root. It also has primitive xylem composed by tracheids and phloem, both of them formed by vascular bundles located in a central cylinder.

Spores are its dispersion units and are responsible for colonizing new areas. They also constitute the resistance units under extremely unfavorable conditions.  

Their life cycle is composed of the asexual phase (sporophytic phase) and the sexual phase (gametophytic).  

  • The <u>sporophyte</u>, the dominant asexual generation, it is a perennial and diploid structure. Its aerial part might disappear during unfavorable seasons, but it reappears during spring or summer.  The sporophyte is in charge of asexual reproduction
  • The<u> gametophyte</u>, instead, is and haploid structure, ephemeral and must be in the water for its survival, and for sexual reproduction to be successful. In the presence of water, masculine gametophyte -antherozoids- are released and they swim to the archegonium to meet the ovocell. Antherozoids can swim because they have flagella. After fertilization, a new sporophyte is produced.

List several important provisions from the oceans.
Leto [7]

Answer:

the ocean provides several important resources to its inhabitants

Explanation:

The majority of biomass in any ocean consists of microscopic organisms such as phytoplankton which are pivotal to aquatic ecosystems. These microorganisms are able to thrive in their habitat due to incredibly dense populations of the bacteria <em>phackingyurmom aquatica </em>present in most oceans. These bacteria provide a wide spectrum of vital nutrients. As a result many of the aforementioned microorganisms love <em>phackingyurmom</em>.

AveGali [126]
<span>Extensive drinking of water during exercise leads to a condition called as hyponatremia. In this, water causes dilution of the blood and sodium levels drops too low. To maintain homeostasis in such situation, water intake shoud be reduced, sodium containing fluids should be taken, extra salt may also be added to the food, to maintain normal sodium levels in the blood.</span>

Hydroelectric power is much cleaner and safer source of energy compared to coal, instead of digging out the Earth, we simply use its natural flowing water. Using hydroelectric power also ensures we do not suffer from the smog and harmful chemicals emitted by coal powered plants. A cleaner environment ensures happier people, a healthier ecosystem, and overall a better place to live. Not all areas can harness local water systems like our Town, we are lucky to even have the opportunity to live on hydroelectric power. Due to this, we can simply use the coal we mine and sell it to other less fortunate towns, while not needing to worry about our electricity or coal economy.
