Concept explainers

A group of plant species that utilize spores, instead of flowers or seeds, for reproduction is known as a bryophyte. The non-vascular seedless plants which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are classified as bryophytes. There are over 20,000 spec…

Plant Biometry

Biometry is the science that deals with the statistical investigation of biological observations and phenomena. It is very important in the development of sound and effective agricultural research practices. It is a Greek-derived word wherein 'bio' means…

Life Cycle Of Gymnosperms

Gymnosperms, which translates to "naked seeds," are a diverse group of seed plants. The angiosperms are a sister group to one group of gymnosperms (the Gnetales), making the gymnosperms a paraphyletic group, according to the "anthophyte" hypothesis. The …

Life Cycle Of Pteridophytes

They are the first land plants with vascular tissues (xylem and phloem). These vascular plants are classified as vascular cryptogams because they do not contain flowers or seeds. These plants are the most common and visible group of land plants, accounti…

Life Cycle Of Angiosperms

An angiosperm is a word obtained from the two Greek words angio, which refers to "covered," and sperms, which means "bean". Flowering plants are what the angiosperms are called. The flowers of a plant develop into fruits, which contain seeds.

Textbook Question

Chapter 30, Problem 11A

Unlike eudicots, monocots have

Woody tissue.
Two seed leaves.
Scattered vascular boundless in their stems.
Flower parts in multiples of four or five.

Features Features The presence of a single cotyledon in the seedling is the most common way to identify monocot plants. Veins that run parallel to the length of the leaves and flower sections that are arranged in a three or six-fold symmetry are some of the anatomical characteristics shared by monocots. Monocots have very little true woody tissue and an adventitious root system. They lack a typical cambium and have scattered vascular bundles.

Chapter 30, Problem 12A

Students have asked these similar questions

For the following descriptions - indicate whether they describe a monocot or a eudicot. -parallel veins in leaves -root system is a taproot -flower organs in groups of 4 or 5 -vascular bundles scattered in the stem -capable of woody growth -pollen grain with three openings -embryo with one cotyledon

The following model is considered what root? Eudicot or Monocot

What is true of eudicots but not monocots? -Eudicots have vascular bundles scattered in their stems. -Eudicots have true seed leaves but monocots do not. -Eudicots have stomatal pores but monocots do not. -Eudicots have venation that is parallel to the leaf axis. -Eudicots have flower parts usually in multiples of 4 or 5.
