What distinguishes a monocot leaf from a dicot leaf based on external structures?

Answer 1

what is the deifference between a monocot and a dicot?
1. A monocot plant has one cotyledon (scutellum) in its embryo whereas a dicot plant has two cotyledones.

2. A moncot plant has generally isobilateral leaf with parallel venation whereas a diicot plant has dorsiventral leaf with reticulate venation.

3. The vascular bundles in monocot plants are without intrafasicular cambium whereas in dicot the vascular bundles has cambium in between xylem and phloem.
a monocot has a one seed cotyledon(the word "mono" means "one")..while the dicot has a two seed cotyledon...

Answer 2

Monocot leaves typically have parallel veins, while dicot leaves have branching veins. Monocot leaves also usually lack a petiole (leaf stem) and have a sheath that surrounds the stem. Dicot leaves often have a distinct petiole that attaches to the leaf blade.

Answer 3

Monocot is differnet from dicot because of many reasons. One of the reasons is that monocots seeds have one part, while dicot seeds have two parts. Also monocot leaves have parallel veins, and dicot have net-veined leaves. Monocot flowers come in parts of threes, and dicot flowers come in parts of fours and fives. Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles, and dicot bundles come in a ring. The roots of monocot are fibrous, and the ones of dicot are traproots. Those are some of the differences of Monocots and Dicots

Answer 4

Monocotyledons have only one cotyledon and dicotyledons have two cotyledons. Monocotyledons uses fibrous root system but dicotyledons uses tap root system. And monocotyledons have narrow leaves with parallel veins but dicotyledons have broad leaves with net veins.

Answer 5

1. Dicot leaves have petiole & leaf lamina whereas monocot leaves have leaf sheath and lamina.

2. Dicot leaves have reticulate venation and monocot leaves ahve parallel venation

3. Dicot leaves are dorsiventral and monocot leaves are isobilateral

4. Vascular bundles in dicot leaves have cambium, it is absent in monocot leaves.

Answer 6

in monocotyledons,the veins in leaf run parallel to the length of the leaf while in dicotyledons there are numerous auxillary veins which reticulate between the major one.

Answer 7

cross section of dicot and monocot leaf found in eurpeu

Answer 8

It is generally the venation.

Monocot leaves have parallel venation and

Dicot leaves have reticulate venation

Answer 9

their leaves are diiferent

Answer 10

Differently
