Question

When a dicot seed sprouts,
a. a coleoptile protects the emerging shoot.
b. the shoot develops more rapidly than the root.
c. the shoot absorbs nutrients directly from the
endosperm.
d. a root cap protects the emerging root.

Features Features Embryos with two cotyledons. Veins in leaves form a network, and flower sections are divided into multiples of four or five. The vascular tissue in dicots is arranged in a ring in the stem, whereas in monocots, the vascular tissue is dispersed across the stem. Eudicots develop either herbaceous (like grasses) or woody tissues. Pollen from most eudicots is trisulcate or triporate, meaning it has three furrows or pores. One main root formed from the embryonic radicle normally anchors the root system.
