Concept explainers
To identify:
Whether the shown micrograph is a section of a root or stem.
Introduction:
The one function of the stem in plants is to provide support and another function of it to provide the position to leaves for photosynthesis. The function of roots in a plant is the transportation of water and minerals, storage and food (in some plants) and it anchors it in the soil.
To determine:
Whether the given micrograph is showing the cross-section of a monocot or eudicot.
Introduction:
Inside a seed, within its embryo, a seed leaf is present that is known as cotyledon. The embryo of some plant’s seed has only one cotyledon, they are categorized as monocots. The examples of monocot seeds are rice, wheat and so on. Eudicots are the flowering plants in which seeds have two seed leaves.

- Is the seedling shown on the right a monocot or eudicot? How can you tell?arrow_forwardIf you were examining a cross section of a primary root of a flowering plant, how would you determine whether it was a eudicot or a monocot?arrow_forwardThe primary meristems of monocots are located in a different area of the plant body than those found in eudicots. Where are monocot meristems located and what is it about this arrangement that make them (grasses) more suitable for lawns than eudicots?
