Is a poinsettia a monocot or a dicot?
A poinsettia plant is a dicot. This means that it has two seed leaves (cotyledons) when the seed germinates.
What means two seed leaves?
"Two seed leaves" refers to the initial pair of leaves that emerge from a seed as it germinates. These seed leaves, or cotyledons, provide nutrients to the young plant until it is capable of photosynthesis. Most flowering plants can be classified as either monocots (with one seed leaf) or dicots (with two seed leaves) based on this characteristic.
What are the first two leaves on the new cotton plant called?
The primary leaf, or leaves; sometimes two primary leaves from opposite each other depending on the leaf arrangement on the stem of the plant. This varies from plant to plant. Monocotyledonous plants normally produce a single primary leaf, where are dicotyledonous plants may produce one or two.
How many cotyledons does chickpea have?
Chickpeas have two cotyledons, which are the seed leaves that provide nutrients to the plant embryo as it germinates. This makes chickpeas a dicot, as dicotyledonous plants typically have two cotyledons.
Acacia is an example of monocotyledon or dicotyledon?
Acacia is an example of a dicotyledon, which means it has two seed leaves when it germinates.

When a seed sprouts into a plant?
When a plant starts to grow from a seed we say the seed germinates.
How long does it take for leaves to appear after a seed germinates?
It generally takes a few days to a couple of weeks for the first leaves to appear after a seed germinates, depending on the plant species. Some plants may take longer to develop leaves while others may sprout leaves within a few days.
What is a sentence you can use for the word germinates?
The plant-seed germinates well in burned soil
How can you tell how many seed leaves a plant has?
Depends. - Do you know what kind of plant the seed is from? Look it up. - Can you wait until the seed germinates? Count the initial number of leaves it has as soon as it germinates and before it begins to grow new leaves. - Can you simply dissect the seed? Count how many leaves are on the embryonic plant inside. - Is this a plant that has already germinated and you want to identify (and count) which of its leaves are seed leaves? That's more difficult. Some plants discard their seed leaves within weeks after germination. Some keep them below the soil and only raise their true leaves above the soil. In some plants, the seed leaves are of a markedly different form that the true leaves, but in some (especially pine and related softwood trees) the seed leaves look almost identical to the true leaves.
What is the difference of germination between monocotyledons and dicotyledons?
When a monocot seed germinates a single leaf is produced. Two seed leaves are produced with a dicot germinates.
Where can one find cotyledon in plants?
A cotyledon is found within a seed. It makes up a large portion of the embryo within a seed. It may develop into the first leaves of the plant when it germinates.
What is the life cycle of a plant from a seed?
The seed germinates and the plant grows larger. Plants do not have a life cycle of several stages.
Once a cherry seed germinates what must be done?
