Question

slides of t.s.of monocot stem and dicot stem is provided.how would you differentiate them anatomically

Answer 1

Answer:

Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement. Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. The bundles are surrounded by large parenchyma in the cortex region. There is no pith region in monocots

hope this helps u

Answer 2

Monocot stem is generally present in the plants in which seeds have single cotyledon whereas dicot stem is generally present in the plants in which seeds have two cotyledons.

Explanation:

Following is the differentiation between monocot and dicot stem:-

Monocot Stem:- 1. It has scattered vascular bundles.

                             2. The cambium is absent .

                             3. The oil cavities are present.

                             4. Hypodermis is made of sclerenchymatous tissue.

                            5. Multicellular stem hair is present.

                            6. Medullary rays are absent.

Dicot Stem:- 1. The vascular bundles are arranged in concentric rings                            

                       2. The cambium is present.

                        3.No oil cavities are present.

                       4. Hypodermis is made of collenchymatous tissue.

                       5. No stem hair is present.

                      6. Medullary rays are present between two adjacent vascular

                         bundles.
