how can yu tell monocots from dicots?

Answer 1

A dicot has two separate cotyledons in its seed, and you can generally see them. In fact, they are easily separable in most cases and have a visible seam, as in a peanut. A monocot has just one cotyledon. For plants that do not have familiar seeds, or seeds that are not sufficiently large for a cursory examination, it can be harder to determine. You may need to consult a taxonomic table, or examine seeds under a microscope.

Answer 2

There are five basic ways:
1) Monocots have 1 seed cotyledon while dicots have 2
2) Monocots tend to have fibrous roots while dicots tend to have tap roots
3) Monocots have flower parts in multiples of 4 and 5 while dicots have flower parts in multiples of 3's
4) Monocots have parallel veination while dicots have webbed
5) Monocots have their vascular bundles in a circle while dicots are not (i.e. in a distributed pattern).

Answer 3

Mono have one seed leave while dicots have two. Monocots include grasses, grains, and palms. All the broad leaf plants are dicots. These include Trees (evergreens and deciduous), shrubs, flowers, house plants, etc. So, monocots are easy to distinguish, they have blades, except palms. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

you can distinguish them by looking at their:

1. roots: Monocots tend to have fibrous roots; dicots have big and simpler roots

2. leaves : monocots have parallel patterns on the leaves; dicots have no specific pattern...

Answer 5

1.monocot has one cotyledon in seed while dicot has two.
2.Monocot has parallel venation in leaves while dicot has web of venation.
3.Vascular bundle are scatered in monocot while arrange in ring shape in dicot.
4.Monocot has no vascular cambium and secondary growth while vascular cambium is present in dicot between xylem and phloem and responsible for secondary growth.
5.There are fibrous root system in monocot and tap root system in dicot.
There are many differances in physiology of monocot and dicot but I think it is enough answer for your understanding

Answer 6

mono = 1
di=2

Answer 7

Only one cot on the first and two on the second..?
