- they are divided into two groups: ______ & _______
A
- Angiosperms
- angio, sperma
monocot and dicot
2
Q
- primarily identified as such by the presence of a single cotyledon in the seedling
- Other anatomical features include veins that run parallel to the length of the leaves and flower parts that are arranged in a three- or six-fold symmetry
- True woody tissue is rarely found
- In palm trees, vascular and parenchyma tissues produced by the primary and secondary thickening of meristems form the trunk
- The pollen is __________, containing a single furrow or pore through the outer layer
A
monosulcate
MONOCOT GROUP
3
Q
- The vascular tissue of the stem is not arranged in any particular pattern
- The root system is mostly adventitious and unusually positioned, with no major taproot
- include plants such as the true lilies (which are the origin of their alternate name: Liliopsida), orchids, grasses, and palms
- Many important crops such as rice and other cereals, corn, sugar cane, and tropical fruits like bananas and pineapples

Q
______, or _______, are characterized by the presence of two cotyledons in the developing shoot.
- Veins form a network in leaves, while flower parts come in four, five, or many whorls.
- Vascular tissue forms a ring in the stem
