2. Monocot and Dicot Differences
Embryo with single cotyledon
Pollen with single furrow or pore
Flower parts in multiples of three
Major leaf veins parallel
Stem vascular bundles scattered
Roots are adventitious
Secondary growth absent
Dicot
Embryo with two cotyledons
Pollen with three furrows or pores
Flower parts in multiples of four or five
Major leaf veins reticulated
Stem vascular bundles in a ring
Roots develop from radicle
Secondary growth often present

6. Vascular Tissue Structure
The Vascular tissue includes the xylem and the phloem.
Xylem- conducts water and mineral from the roots upward and throughout the plant.
Phloem- transport dissolved foods in all directions with out the plant.
Most of the cells associated with the vascular tissue are long and slender similar to pipes.

7. Vascular Tissue Function
The main function of the vascular tissues is to transport fluid and nutrients internally.
Individual cells are connected end to end.
As the plant grows, new tissue is formed.
As new tissues grow they connect to the end with allows water and nutrients to go up, very similar to tubes.
