1) Monocots are shorts for “Monocotyledons” which means plants whose embryo has one cotyledon; whereas, Eudicots (Eudicotyledons) carry embryo with 2 cotyledons. The cotyledons of eudicots supply nutrients for seedlings, but the cotyledons of monocots store some nutrients and act as a transfer tissue for nutrients stored elsewhere. Five key features are typically used to distinguish monocots from eudicots; a seed, arrangement of vascular tissue in roots, stems, and leaves, and number of flower parts. The seed has the reproductive structures that are protected from drying out, have male and female gametophytes which are reduced in size. In young dicot stems and stems (usually the upright, vertical portion of a plant transports substances to and the leaves) that do not increase in thickness, xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex.
Biology Gynoecium: - The gynoecium (from Ancient Greek γυνή, gyne, meaning woman, and οἶκος, oikos, meaning house) is a term with several meanings in botanical usage. In reference to mosses, liverworts and hornworts,gynoecium refers to a cluster of archegonia and any associated modified leaves or stems present on agametophyte shoot. More commonly, gynoecium refers to the ovule-producing part of a flower. The gynoecium is typically the innermost whorl of structures in a flower and is surrounded (in perfect flowers) by the androecium (stamens) and (in complete flowers) by the perianth (petals and sepals). The gynoecium is often inaccurately [clarification needed] referred to as female because it gives rise to female (egg-producing) gametophytes.
5) What is the system where no roots stand out as the main one? A fibrous root system. 6) Why are grassroots particularly useful? They hold the top soil in place, preventing erosion. 7) What is an organ system consisting of nodes (the points at which leaves are attached), and internodes (the stem segments
They grow to about three feet tall with long thin light green leaves that have a sharp apex (point) at the end. Numerous drooping bell shaped flowers are found on a Yucca plant with each one holding a hardened capsule full of seeds; these are dispersed by the wind. Wind dispersal is not the only way for the Yucca to reproduce; they also have a unique rhizomatous
The species, often called sweet leaf or sugar leaf, is widely grown for its intensely sweet leaves. A component on the leaf called stevioside is extracted and manufactured into the calorie-free sweeteners you see in stores. Originally Stevia was only available as a "dietary supplement" in the U.S. In 2008 the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status to rebaudioside A, one of

Wilson English 101 (Extra Credit) How to Grow an Avocado Tree: Have you ever eaten an avocado and wished you could do something with the enormous seed? Well, you can; with a little luck and a little skill, you can grow an attractive house plant from it. Caring for an avocado is not complicated, provided you follow a few simple rules. Wash the seed in tepid water, removing all the pulp. Suspend the seed with the broad end pointing down in a water-filled glass or jar by driving three toothpicks into the sides for support.
The works cited page should include your interview(s) and any other outside source(s). You also need to use in-text citations whenever you quote or get information from your outside sources. Your handbook provides guidance on how to do this effectively, ethically, and correctly. EXAMPLES Your instructor will help you to distinguish feature articles from other types of articles. You’ll be looking at some feature articles in class, and there are student essay examples in this book.
We will also set up this program because we want to encourage students to become more involved when it comes to looking out for others and learning how to treat injuries. With this new student athletic training program students will have another opportunity to get involved in sports even if they aren’t actually participating in the sport itself. We mainly feel the need to have a SAT program because it will help out a lot when it comes to recovering and preventing athletic injuries on the field and on the
The trees have adventitious roots that bud out from the trunk, and the female trees appear to bear pineapples. The pineapple –like flower is actually made up of a cluster of seeds or keys that range in color from reddish to bright orange to golden. The male trees are called hinano (Hawaiian word), and usually have less leaves, and have a much more fragrant flower. The leaves of the hala tree are long and skinny with thorny edges and midribs along the base. Most of the leaves are green, but there are some hybrid species now with yellow and green striped
