What are the flaws ? Meristematic tissue is the site of mitosis and therefore growth for a plant. Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots and allows them to produce flowers. Lateral meristem is found along the length of the plant and allows it to increase in width. Intercalary meristem is found in nodes along grasses and allows them to grow from the “base”, which is why grass continues to grow after it is cut. Plants have three organs: leaves, stems, and roots. While the functions of the organs are the same between plants, the structure is different between two large groups of plants: monocots and dicots. Leaves are the site of photosynthesis. In monocots, the vascular tissue is in parallel veins like in grass. In dicots, the veins form a web or net pattern like in a maple leaf. A bulb is a modified leaf that allows the plant to store food. Stems make up the “body” of the plant and support the leaves. In monocots, vascular bundles are found randomly throughout the stem. In dicots, vascular bundles form a spiral throughout the stem. A thorn is a modified stem and provides protection for the plant. Roots anchor the plant as well as absorb water and other nutrients. In a monocot root, the xylem and phloem form a ring round the center of the root. In a dicot root, the xylem and phloem form an “X” like structure in the center of the root. A storage root is a modified root that stores food for the plant. Plant cells have a few features that animal cells do not have. They have a cell wall that provides support to the cell and gives it shape. They also can have chloroplasts which are the site photosynthesis.

Meristematic tissue is the site of mitosis and therefore growth for a plant. Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots and allows them to produce flowers. Lateral meristem is found along the length of the plant and allows it to increase in width. Intercalary meristem is found in nodes along grasses and allows them to grow from the “base”, which is why grass continues to grow after it is cut.

Plants have three organs: leaves, stems, and roots. While the functions of the organs are the same between plants, the structure is different between two large groups of plants: monocots and dicots.

Plant cells have a few features that animal cells do not have. They have a cell wall that provides support to the cell and gives it shape. They also can have chloroplasts which are the site photosynthesis.

Features Features The presence of a single cotyledon in the seedling is the most common way to identify monocot plants. Veins that run parallel to the length of the leaves and flower sections that are arranged in a three or six-fold symmetry are some of the anatomical characteristics shared by monocots. Monocots have very little true woody tissue and an adventitious root system. They lack a typical cambium and have scattered vascular bundles.
