Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are some of the simplest plants and are found in moist environments such as damp forests, wetlands, and along streams.
Characteristics of Bryophytes
Non-vascular: Bryophytes lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. They rely on diffusion and osmosis for these processes.
Small size: Most bryophytes are small in size, with a low-growing form.
Reproduction: They reproduce via spores rather than seeds and have a lifecycle that involves alternation of generations between a gametophyte and a sporophyte stage.
Energy - A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc 2 . B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion. C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy. D. The theory of electromagnetism explains that electricity and magnetism are closely related. Electric charges are the source of electric fields. Moving charges generate magnetic fields. E. Waves are the propagation of a disturbance. They transport energy and momentum but do not transport matter.
