6. • Often grasses and the relatives of grasses are monocots.

7. DICOT
(Dicotyledoneae)

8. • Garden plants, trees and the like are dicots.

9. This is a significant part of the embryo within the seed of a plant.
Upon germination, the cotyledon may become the embryonic first leaves of a
seedling. The number of cotyledons present is one characteristic used by botanists
to classify the flowering plants.

10. The stem of a monocot has the primary vascular bundles scattered while the dicots
have its primary vascular bundles in a ring.

11. The monocot has a parallel-veined leaves while the dicot have net-veined leaves.

12. The pollen of a monocot has only one opening while the dicot has three.

13. The root of a monocot is adventitious while the root of dicot is primary and
adventitious.

14. The flowers of a monocot comes in 3’s while the dicot comes in 4’s or 5’s.

15. About fewer than 10% of
monocot species and about
50% of the dicot are
woody.

16. As an ovule develops into a seed, the ovary increases in size and forms the
fruit. Flowers and fruits are of many different kind.
Seeds and fruits may be variously modified, a factor that frequently
assists in seed dispersal. Wind, animals, humans, and water are the most
important agents of dispersal.
The enclosing of the seed within the fruit increases the possibility of
survival in diverse environments.
The flowering plants, in addition to their aesthetic values, are our most
important food and forage plants. Many fibers are obtained from the
Anthophyta; so as cork and rubber. Drugs, beverages, and other
commercial products of various sorts are also obtained.
