A leat and a lateral bud occur The leaves carr w hich requires dist the three requirements) Place a check in front of the a spines of a cactus r descriptions of leaves: tondrils of a cucumber trap of a Venus's Rytrap 3. Label each type of root shown and describe its special function 4. Complete the following table to indicate the differences between monocot and eudicot plants Plant Part Monocot Eudicot Leaf veins Vascular bundles in stem Cotyledons in seed ascular tissue in root

Explanation / Answer

1.The root system hold plants in the soil and absorbs water and minerals from the soil especially by means of root hairs. Stem supports the leaves and transports water and minerals from roots to the leaves. A leaf and a lateral bud ossur at the node. Leaves carry on photosynthesis which requires wate, sunlight and carbon dioxide.

2. spines of cactus, tendrils of cucumber , trap of venus flytrap are highly modified leaves.

3. a. fibrous root b. tap root c. adventitious root

4. Monocots: 1. one cotyledon in seed 2. scattered vascular bundles in stem 3. leaf veins are parallel 4. Monocot roots have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring

Eudicots: 1. two cotyledons in seed 2. Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement 3. leaf veins are net like. 4. Dicot roots have their xylem in the center of the root and phloem outside the xylem
