Question

What are the differences between monocots and dicots?

Accepted Answer

The differences between monocots and dicots are that monocots produce only one seed after germinating while dicots produce two, and monocots produce parallel leaf veins while dicots produce two.

Answer

MONOCOT IS 1 SEED LEAF PLANT WHILE DICOT IS A 2 SEED LEAF PLANT.

Answer

MONOCOT IS 1 SEED LEAF PLANT WHILE DICOT IS A 2 SEED LEAF PLANT.

Answer

Monocots are plants with leaves that are usually long and slender with veins that all run in one direction (from the stem toward the tip), fibrous roots, flower parts are in 3's, and seeds have two cotyledons. The vascular cambium of monocots occurs in bundles scattered throughout the stem. For example, grasses, corn. 
Dicots have leaves with netted veins, a long tap root, flower parts in 4's or 5's, and seeds with two cotyledons. The vascular cambium of dicots occurs in a ring within the stem. For example, apple trees, peas.

Answer

Very easy to look up but time for me to practice what I learned.Monocot vs Dicot. Flowering plantsthe cot refers to something called a cotyledon which is the embryo. Mono means one and di means two. A dicot seed will look like a bean with two parts.Monocots have parallel venation, fibrous root systems, lack true woody growth, flower parts come in multiples of threes, stems have scattered vascular bundles, pollen has one spore. EX. Palm trees, grasses, banana plants, orchids, bamboo, bromeliadsDicots have net venation, taproot system, ma have woody growth, vascular bundels are in a ring, pollen has 3 spores, flowers in parts of 4 or 5. Ex. Oak trees, tomato, lettuce, hibiscus, roses, apple tree, (pretty much everything else !)

Answer

Monocots have only one cotyledon, dicots have two cotyledons. A cotyledon contains stored food and serves as a food reservoir. Aside from the difference between the seeds of monocots and dicots there are other different structures that separate monocots and dicots. Monocots have long, narrow leaves with parallel veins (such as grasses.) The parts of monocot flowers are arranged in threes or in multiples of three. Dicots have broad leaves with branched veins. The parts of dicot flowers are arranged in fours and fives or multiples of fours and five. Monocots have fibrous roots and Dicots have tap roots.

Answer

To put it simply,
a monocot has one cotyledon.
a dicot has two cotyledons.

Answer

MONOCOT(MONO=ONE) WHICH CONTAINS ONE COTYLEDON.
DICOT(DI=TWO) WHICH CONTAINS TWO COTYLEDON

Answer

This is the first time I have heard of this subject, so I will do my best.Traditionally, the flowering plants have been divided into two major groups, or classes,: the Dicots (Magnoliopsida) and the Monocots(Liliopsida). Many people take this separation into two classes for granted, because it is "plainly obvious", but botanists have not always recognized these as the two fundamental groups of angiosperms. Although Theophrastus (circa 370 BC) is credited with first recognizing differences between the two groups, classification of plants was based upon overall growth form -- trees, herbs, vines -- until the 1600s.

Answer

Flowering plants are divided into two classes as monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
MONOCOTYLEDONS:
Have seeds with one cotyledon(seed leaf)
Their foliage leaves are narrow with parallel veins.
The flower components occurs in multiples of three.
Sepals and petals are indistuinguishable hence called as sepals.
Lacks cambium.
DICOTYLEDONS:
Have seeds with two cotyledons.
Leaves are broad with a central midrib and branched viens
Flower parts occur in multiples of four or five
Sepals are small and petals are large and colorful.
Cambium is present and have woody stems.

Answer

monocot is single cotyledon but dicot is double cotyledon

Answer

One of the differences are the leaves, monocots tend to have parallel vascular bundles while dicots have dispersed. Stems and Roots are also distingiushible, this is the formation of the vascular bundles.

Answer

monocot      
no cotyledon                                                                                                                                                                         
 
dicot                                                                                    onecotyledon

Answer

monocots undergo epigeal germination whereas dicots undergo hypogeal germination

Answer

monocots have single seed and dicot have double seeds

Answer

well ............i only know about MONOMAN i m an enginerring student!

Answer

They are often differentiated from gymnosperms by their production of seeds within a closed chamber (the ovary) within the flower, but this distinction is not always clear-cut. The division is composed of two classes: monocots and dicots. Monocots have flower parts in threes, scattered conducting strands in the stem, and usually prominent parallel veins in the leaves, and they lack a cambium. Dicots have flower parts in fours or fives, conducting strands arranged in a cylinder, a net-veined pattern in the leaves, and a cambium. Flowering plants reflect an immense diversity in habit, size, and form; they account for more than 300 families growing on every continent, including Antarctica. Flowering plants have adapted to almost every habitat. Most reproduce sexually by seeds via the specialized reproductive organs that are present in all flowers.

Answer

Monocots bear one cotyledons in their embryo, while other bear two cotyledons in their embryo.  On the basis of this the flowering plants have been divided into two big classes: monocotyledons and dicotyledons. Dicotyledons far outnumber monocotyledons.
Rice, maize, etc bear only one cotyledon in their embryo, while gram, bean, pea, Castor, etc, bear two cotyledons in their embryo. Monocotyledon seeds are mostly albuminous, while among dicotyledons both albuminous and ex-albuminous are common.

Answer

Monocots and Dicots present quite a few different characteristics. Priminary and most importantly of monocots are consistment of seeds being single piece. While continueing, flowers have petals in multiple of three. In dicots having a case of multiples of four and five. Monocots also permit parallel veins while dicots perform reticulated veins. Steam vascular bundlers being scattered in monocots though are considered ring in dicots.
Numbering of palm, onion, lilly, and onions are in monocot format as for the dicot section, oak, mustard, blueberry, cacti, and even sunflowers. Matter of fact, a surfiet amount in dicots is numbered to 170,000 containing increasement and are also more assorted and comprised due to these numbers. While 65,000 containing decreasement in monocots. Being herbaceous plants consist long, narrow leaves alongside parallel veins in defining Monotyledonae meaning another word for moncot. In docotyledonae as in defining docot either being herbaceous being tomato, woody, or even hickory tree like.

Answer

monocots have 1 cotyledons and dicots have 2 cotyledons =)

Answer

The seeds leaves, also called cotleydons, are different in monocots and dicots. Monocots have 1 cotleydons, while dicots have 2 cotleydons.

Answer

The primary and most important  difference is that monocots consist of seeds that are a single piece-an  example of which is corn, while dicot seeds can be split into two, like  in the case of peas.
Another important difference is that while in monocots the flowers  have petals in multiples of three, in the case of dicot these are in  multiples of 4 or 5. As far as the leaves are concerned, monocots  exhibit parallel veins while dicots have reticulated veins. There are  many other features that distinguish the two. Take the case of the  embryo for instance. As the name would suggest, and as one would  imagine, an embryo in a monocot has a single cotyledon while the embruo with the dicot comes with two cotyledons. Then again in the case of  monocots the pollen is with a single furrow or pore, whereas in the case  of a dicot it is with three furrows or pores. In the case of monocots the stem vascular bundles are scattered whereas  in the case of dicots these are in a ring. The roots happen to be what  is referred to as adventitious in the case of monocots, while the roots  develop from radical when it comes to the dicots. Yet another trait that  distinguishes the monocot from the dicot is the fact that in the case  of the former, secondary growth is totally absent whereas in the case of  dicots, it is sometimes present.

Answer

A monocot has only one seed leaf (monocot is short for 'monocotyledon'. A cotyledon is a seed leaf, and 'mono' means one). This seed leaf is usually the same shape as the adult leaf, long and thin, and the leaf veins nearly always run parallel to the central midrib. Sometimes, the adult leaves are pinnate, as in many palms, but the veins are parallel on each leaflet. There are several monocot plant families that are instantly recognisable. Many food plants are grasses. So crops like wheat, oats, barley and sweetcorn are all monocots. Palms, Orchids, and most bulbous plants are monocots.
A dicot has two cotyledons (dicot is short for 'dicotyledon', and 'di' means two). The seed leaves are usually rounded and fat, because they are the two halves of the seed. The first true leaves can be many different shapes, from long and thin to rounded or palmate. Most trees and shrubs and many garden annuals and perennials are dicots, and there are many more species of dicots than there are monocots.

Answer

MONOCOT IS 1 SEED LEAF PLANT WHILE DICOT IS A 2 SEED LEAF PLANT.

Answer

Monocots are individual, single seeds. Dicots are double seeds:D

Answer

Monocots and Dicots are types of seeds. There are several differences between them.
Monocots: 1) Have only one seed leaf inside. So when a monocot seed                    germinates, there is only one leaf that shoots up.
  2) Leaves are usually long and narrow.
  3) Stems are normally unbranched and the roots are short                      and stringy.
4) Flowers from monocot seeds are in three parts.
5) Seed pods have three parts and are large and fleshy.
Dicots:  1) Have two seed leaves inside. When a dicot seed                               germinates, two leaves shoots up.
2) Leaves are different shapes and sizes.
3) Stems are tough and branched. The root system is                         a single root with smaller roots growing from it.
4) Flowers from dicot seeds have parts in fours or fives.
5) Seeds are a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. They                     normally contain more seeds in a seedpod than                               monocots.

Answer

Monocots, like corn for example, contain one cotyledon and most have extra enegry in the form of endosperm. They also have a fibrous root system.
Dicots, like beans for example, have two cotyledons which are the two halves of the bean seed. The dicot also has the taproot system.

Answer

Use the prefix mono (one) and di (two) to help you remember the differences between these two flowering plant types.

Flowering Plants are separated into two distinct groups, although there is some gray areas with certain plants.

Monocots produce one leaf from the seed after germinating; dicots produce 2

Monocots produce parallel leaf veins; dicots produce a net-like display of veins.

The differences continue and become more scientific. Try the link below from Wikipedia to begin with if you need more information.

Answer

There are several differences between monocots and dicots, here are three big ones.  The main one (that gave rise to the names) is that monocots have seeds that are one piece (like corn), while dicot seeds can be easily split in half (like peas). Other differences include that monocots have flower parts (like petals) in multiple of threes while dicots usually have them in multiples of 4 or 5.  In terms of the leaves, monocots exhibit parallel veins while dicots have reticulated (net-like) veins.
