1. Seeds Monocot vs. Dicot
Accelerated Biology

2. Seed Anatomy
Seed coat – protects embryo from injury and harsh environment
develops from the outer layers of the ovule
Endosperm – portion of seed that stores food (energy) for the developing embryo
What types of plants reproduce through seeds? – gymnosperms and angiosperms
How do mosses and ferns reproduce? – spores

3. Seed Anatomy Cotyledon – seed leaves part of the embryo
the first leaves
transfer nutrients to the embryo
Monocot – I cotyledon
Ex) corn
Dicot – 2 cotyledons
Ex) Kidney and Lima beans
What types of plants reproduce through seeds? – gymnosperms and angiosperms
How do mosses and ferns reproduce? – spores

6. Seed Anatomy
Radicle – embryonic root (becomes root)

7. Seed Anatomy Epicotyl – part of the shoot stem above cotyledons
Hypocotyl – part of root
stem below cotyledons

8. Monocots Leaf veins parallel Vascular tissue scattered
Flower parts in threes
Ex) lilies, grasses, corn

9. Dicots Leaf veins netlike Ring of vascular tissue
Flower parts in fours or fives
Ex) trees, geranium, cacti
