| Why can vascular plants grow quite tall? Give two reasons | 1. they have very effective transportation systems through out the plant 2. vascular tissue gives the plant strength and stability |
| In seedless vascular plants spores grow into gametophytes that produce egg cells and sperm cells. Why must there be water avalable to them? | 1. so that the sperm can swim towards the eggs |
