Bryophytes never formed forests (mats, yes, but not forests) because . a. they possess flagellated sperms.
b. not all are heterosporous.
c. they lack lignified vascular tissue.
d. they have no adaptations to prevent desiccation.
e. the sporophyte is too weak.

c. They lack lignified vascular tissue

Explanation:

We know that forest consists of tall trees. In the tall trees the water and minerals are transported to the every part of tree through the lignified vasucular tissue. This tissue not only helps in transport within the tree but also provides some sort of mechanical strength due to the presence of lignin it its walls. On the other hand bryophytes are non-vascular plants which means they lack vascular tissue and thus a mechanism for long distnace transport of water and minerals is absent in them. So they can't be taller as a tree and thus can't form forest.

answer: after carbon dioxide enters the leaf through stomata it moves into the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis occurs and glucose is constructed. respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy.
