flowering plants Flashcards
characteristics to monocots
one cotyledon

bundles of vascular tissue scattered
fibrous roots
parts found in multiples of 3
characteristic of dicot
two cotyledon
branching pattern veins
bundles of vascular tissue arranged in a ring
thick taproots
parts found in multiples of 4 or 5
loss of water through stomates is
transpiration
water and minerals flow through the
xylem
glucose and other sugars flow through the
phloem

stamen
stamen made of
filament and anther, where pollen is produced
