Biological classification is the process by which scientists group living organisms. Organisms are classified based on how similar they are. Historically, similarity was determined by examining the physical characteristics of an organism but modern classification uses a variety of techniques including genetic analysis.

hope i could help :)
The cell membrane's main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows some substances to cross it easily, but not others. Small molecules that are nonpolar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.
Charged Ions
An ion is a molecule that is charged because it has lost or gained an electron. The cell membrane is made of a bilayer of phospholipids, with an inner and outer layer of charged,hydrophilic "heads" and a middle layer of fatty acid chains, which are hydrophobic, or uncharged. Charged ions cannot permeate the cell membrane for the same reason that oil and water don't mix: uncharged molecules repel charged molecules. Even the smallest of ions -- hydrogen ions -- are unable to permeate through the fatty acids that make up the membrane. If ions "want" to enter the cell due to a high concentration of that type of ion on one side of the cell, they can do so by entering through the protein channels that are embedded between the lipids.
Large Polar Molecules
Large uncharged molecules, such as glucose, also cannot easily permeate the cell membrane. Although they do sometimes manage to slip across the membrane through diffusion, the process is extremely slow due to the size of the molecules. In order for these molecules to cross the membrane at a normal rate of speed, they need to resort to ion channels and specific transporters, which require energy output from the cell.
Answer: The tissue structure of the liverworts restricts them to a type of environment that affects their size.
Explanation:
Nonvascular plants, also called the Bryophytes in Kingdom Plantae, are simple plants that grow in damp places on land and as the name implies, are non vascular plants( that is, they lack vascular tissues). There are three types of nonvascular plants which includes:
--> Mosses
--> liverworts and
--> hornworts.
Liverworts are restricted to a particular size through the type of tissue they have ( non vascular) because it predisposes them to lack conducting vessels like the phloem and xylem found in vascular plants which aids in conducting water and food to various parts of the plants. Also they do not grow tall like the vascular plants because they lack the qualities that will enable them do so, such as roots, stems and leaves.
Nonvascular plants are low-growing, reproduce with spores, and need a moist or damp environment.
The USDA Animal Welfare Act takes precedence over guidelines produced by the Public Health Service, Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a specialized unit, called USDA Animal Care, which administers the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). AWA sets the minimum standards of care and husbandry for animals used for commercial or research purposes and public exhibitions.
Answer: Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.
