How Is The Transport Of Substances Carried Out Across Bryophyte Tissues? How Is This Feature Related To The General Size Of These Plants?
In bryophytes, there are no water-conducting or nutrient-conducting structures and the transport of these substances is carried out via cell to cell diffusion. The small size of bryophytes relates to this feature because if there are no conducting vessels, it is not possible for cells to be too far apart from each other (the emergence of conducting tissues in tracheophytes allowed their increase in size).
