1. Xylem vs. Phloem

2. LO´s
Be able to identify xylem and phloem tissue in monocots and dicots
Know difference between xylem and phloem tissue in stem and roots

3. Monocots - Dicots

4. Monocots - Dicots
Monocotyledons (Cotyledon= seed leaf, first leaf of a plant to develop):
Grass, corn, weeds
Dicotyledons:
Sunflower, apple trees, tomatoes

5. Xylem - Phloem
Xylem: carries water through the plant, found at the inner part of a vascular bundle
Phloem: carries phloem sap through the plant, found at the outer part of a vascular bundle

6. Roots Monocot root Dicot root
Number of xylem and phloem numerous (8 to many)
Xylem vessels oval or rounded
Pith large and well developed
Number of xylem and phloem groups limited (2-6 or 8)
Xylem vessels angular or polygonal (=vieleckig)
Pith absent or very small

7. Stem
Monocot
Dicot
Vascular bundles are not arranged in a circle and have different sizes
Vascular bundles arranged in a circle and have similar size
