Which of these is a significant effect of vascular plants? they were the first plants to colonize land. they gave rise to mosses. they maintain ecological balance by preventing desertification.

They maintain ecological balance by preventing desertification.

Explanation:

Vascular plants are plants that have conducting tissues, phloem and xylem. These tissues are responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the soil to the ground.

Xylem is responsible for transporting water and phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients from the soil to the plants. They have leaves, stems and roots.

Vascular plants produce seeds and fruits. Because of the fruits they produced, they can be grown or can multiplied by sowing their seeds therefore enhancing their multiplications and preventing desertification. They maintain ecological balance by reproducing by seeds and multiplying.

Examples are angiosperms.

atp is used for energy.

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
