What Chaaracteristics coyuld You use to help you decide if a plant is a manocot or a dicot?
You can determine if a plant is a monocot or dicot by looking at its seed structure, number of cotyledons (seed leaves), leaf venation pattern, flower parts (monocots have parts in multiples of three, while dicots have parts in multiples of four or five), and root system (monocots have fibrous roots, while dicots have taproots).
Is rosemary seed a monocot?
A rose is a dicot. Roses are dicots. There are several ways to distinguish between dicots and monocots. The leaves of monocots have veins that begin at the base of the leaf and end at the tip without any branching (Lilly family). The dicot's vein starts at the bottom and branches or nets all over the leaf. (Roses). Monocots have three or combination of three petal etc in the flower(lillies). Dicots have four or five and their combinations in their flowers(Roses). Monocots have fibrous roots(lillies). Dicots have a tap root(Maples and roses).. Monocots have their Phloem and xylem in bundles throughout the plant( Palm trees). Dicots have theirs next to the cambium layer just under the bark (Roses and Oak). The seed of a monocot is one unit.(corn). When idt sprouts it sends up a single leaf. The seed of a dicot usually breaks in two easily Peanuts, beans and Roses) The seed sends up a stem with two leaves. These first two leaves are called the cotyledon leaves. The next two leaves are called true leaves. That's about as many differentiations I can quickly recall to distinguish between monocots and dicots.. If you can understand these differences you'll be able to identify almost all the monocots from dicots instantly.
How do you know if a fruit is moniocot or dicot?
Fruits are typically classified by the flowering plant they come from. Monocots have fruits with parallel venation, while dicots have fruits with branched venation. Additionally, monocots usually have multiples of three floral parts (petals, sepals, stamens), while dicots have multiples of four or five.
Do mocots and dicots look different?
Yes, monocots and dicots look different in terms of their seed structure, leaf vein arrangement, and flower parts. Monocots typically have one cotyledon (seed leaf), parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three; while dicots usually have two cotyledons, netted leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
Are mango monocots or dicots?
