Why are ferns and mosses poorly adapted to a terrestrial life​

Biology
1 answer:
asambeis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because they require a WATER medium for reproduction

Explanation:

Ferns are a group of living organisms under the division; Pteridophyta while mosses belong to the group Bryophyta. Mosses are considered primitive and non-vascular plants because they lack true stems, leaves and roots or vascular tissues. while ferns possess these organs, hence, are said to be vascular.

However, ferns and mosses are poorly adapted to a terrestrial life i.e. life on land because they both require a water medium for their motile male gametes to swim and fertilize their eggs (female gametes).

What is an ecosystem
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

A place where plants and animals interact with each other and the physical environment.

If too many plant eaters were alive there wouldn't be any more plants so other animals eat the plant eaters, but if there is too many animals to eat the animals that eat the plants there would be too many plants so there is another animal to balance it out.

Hope this helps.

Enzymes are proteins in nature. They are produced as a result of transcription and translation from DNA, and hastens different chemical processes of a metabolic activity.

The chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA. They are seen in the cells prior to cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. They are half obtained from father and the other half from mother, leading to variations among the offsprings.
