Monocots vs Dicots

they are flowering plants and can be diveded into two groups that are monocots and dicots Monocots produce seeds in which the embryo has only one cotyledon and dicots produce seeds in which the embryo has two cotyledons

the first leaf that sprouts from the embryonic part of the seed to help gather nutrients for seed through photosynthesis

plant growth and development of seed to plant after a period of dormancy(not being able to germinate ex) mung bean seeds in bag

two cotyledons endosperm which is responsible for storing food and developing embryo

The main difference between vascular and nonvascular plants is that a vascular plant has vascular vessels to carry water and food to all the different parts of the plant.

The main difference between monocotyledons and dicotyledons is that monocot contains a single cotyledon in its embryo whereas dicot contains two cotyledons in its embryo.

Dicot seeds are mostly located in the two cotyledons while the monocots are mostly in endosperm.

Meristematic Tissues – cells that undergo mitosis and are responsible for plant growth Dermal Tissue – outer cell layers of plants (ex. Epidermis) Ground Tissue – composed of all internal cells of the plant except for the vascular plants Vascular Tissue – involved in the transport of substances in the plant

Vascular Tissue Xylem: compose of thick-walled cells that conduct water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plants Phloem: composed of thin-walled cells that transport sugars and other plant products from one part of the plant to another

Epidermis: outermost layer of cells covering the stem, root, leaf, flower and seed parts of the plant Cortex: tissue of unspecialized cells lying between the epidermis and the conducting tissues of stems and roots

monocots have fibrous roots dicots have taproots
