identify and 10 plants from your surrounding and divide them as monocot and dicot on the basis of leaf venation types of root and the number of Petals
Answers
Answer:
Flowering plants are divided into monocots (or monocotyledons) and dicots (or dicotyledons). This comparison examines the morphological differences in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of monocots and dicots.
Comparison chart
Dicot versus Monocot comparison chart
Dicot Monocot
Embryo
As the name suggests, the dicot embryo has two cotyledons. Monocotyledons have one cotyledon in the embryo.
Leaf venation
Leaf veins are reticulated (branched). Leaf veins are parallel.
Type of leaves
Dorsiventral Isobilateral
Stomata in leaves
Some dicots are epistomatous i.e., they have stomata only on one surface on their leaves. Monocots are amphistomatous i.e., monocot leaves have stomata on both the upper and lower surface.
Bulliform cells
Dicot leaves do not have bulliform cells. Many monocots have bulliform cells on their leaves to regulate the loss of water.
Flowers
Petals in multiples of four or five. May bear fruit ( if tree). Petals in multiples of three.
Root Pattern
Taproot system Fibrous roots
Secondary growth
Often present Absent
Stem and vascular system
Bundles of vascular tissue arranged in a ring. The vascular system is divided into a cortex and stele. Bundles of vascular tissue scattered throughout the stem with no particular arrangement, and has no cortex.
Pollen
Pollen with three furrows or pores. Pollen with a single furrow or pore.
Presence or absence of wood
Both herbaceous and woody Herbaceous
# of seed leaves
2 seed leaves 1 seed leaf
Examples
Legumes (pea, beans, lentils, peanuts) daisies, mint, lettuce, tomato and oak are examples of dicots. Grains, (wheat, corn, rice, millet) lilies, daffodils, sugarcane, banana, palm, ginger, onions, bamboo, sugar, cone, palm tree, banana tree, and grass are examples of plants that are monocots.
