- Cut a transverse section of young stem of a plant from your school garden and observe it under the microscope. How would you ascertain whether it is amonocot stem or a dicot stem? Give reasons.arrow_forwardMake an formal lab drawing and label and identify all the following 6, monocot stem and dicot herbaceous stem, monocot leaf and dicot leaf, monocot roof and dicot root.arrow_forwardWhile exploring a forest, you come upon a plant that you haven't seen before. You dig it up and take it back to your lab for further inspection. Back at the lab, you observe the characteristic structure of the plant and make some notes.
