Species of Sphagnum, a moss, provide peat that has long been used as fuel and as packing material for transhipment of living material. Which of the following statements best explains why Sphagnum is suitable for these applications?
1. Sphagnum has a high lignin content, making it resistant to decay and suitable for fuel.
2. Sphagnum can absorb and retain large amounts of water due to its unique cellular structure, making it ideal for packing living material.
3. Sphagnum contains silica deposits in its cell walls, which provide rigidity and durability.
4. Sphagnum releases antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth of pathogens in packed materials.

Pteridophytes differ from bryophytes on one hand and gymnosperms on the other because:
1. Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes have a dominant gametophyte phase, and unlike gymnosperms, they reproduce only through spores.
2. Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes lack alternation of generations, and unlike gymnosperms, they possess multicellular sex organs.
3. Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes lack roots, stems, and leaves, but unlike gymnosperms, they have chlorophyll a and b.
4. Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes have vascular tissue, but unlike gymnosperms, they do not produce seeds.
