Difference between Dicot and Monocot Root

Flowering plants are also called angiosperms. The anatomy of flowering plants
includes the organization of cells and tissues within the bodies of flowering plants.
Plants are eukaryotic life forms that are portrayed by their capacity to deliver their
own food. They give oxygen, food, and medication to other living creatures. The
parts of a flowering plant include roots and shoots. These two frameworks are
associated with vascular tissue that runs from the root through the shoot. The
underground root growth empowers plants to acquire water and supplements from
the dirt. The shoot framework permits plants to duplicate and get food through
photosynthesis.

The angiosperms are additionally partitioned into monocotyledon and dicotyledon.

Monocots vary from dicots in four particular primary highlights: leaves, stems,
roots, and flowers. Plants whose seeds contain 1 cotyledon are called Monocots
whereas plants whose seeds contain 2 cotyledons are dicots.

Dicotyledonous Root
The internal structure of the dicot root shows the zones mentioned below:

 2

Epidermis
The epidermis has thin-walled, living cells with no intercellular spaces, known as
Epiblema. Cells of epiblema protrude out in the form of epidermal root hairs.

Cortex
The cortex has several layers of thin-walled parenchymal cells. The cortex
consists of 3 parts:

 Exodermis: It is composed of 2 to 3 rows of thick-walled suberized cells. It

prevents the exit of water from cortical layers.
 General cortex: It is composed of several layers of thin-walled, living,
parenchymal cells. It helps in food storage and water conduction.
 Endodermis: It is the innermost layer of the cortex. It comprises a single
layer of barrel-shaped cells without intercellular spaces.
o Radial, as well as tangential walls of endodermal cells, have a
deposition of water-impermeable waxy material suberin in the form of
Casparian strips.
o Endodermis forms a watertight jacket around vascular tissue, so also
called an internal biological barrier.
o Some endodermis cells near the protoxylem have no Casparian strips,
called passage cells or transfusion cells. They allow radial diffusion of water
and minerals through the endodermis.

Stele
All tissues on the inner side of the endodermis such as the pericycle, vascular
bundle, and pith.

Pericycle
A few layers of thick-walled parenchymatous cells next to endodermis. It shows
active cell division. Initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during
secondary growth takes place in the pericycle.

Vascular Bundles
Radial vascular bundle (Xylem and phloem). Endarch xylem (xylem is on the inner
side). Usually, tetrarch means 4 xylem and phloem patches.

Pith
Pith is small or may be completely absent. The parenchymatous cells which lie
between the xylem and phloem cells are called conjunctive tissue.

Monocotyledonous Root

The internal structure of the Monocot root shows the zones mentioned below:

Epidermis
The epidermis has thin-walled, living cells with no intercellular spaces, known as
Epiblema. Cells of epiblema protrude out in the form of epidermal root hairs.

Cortex
The cortex has several layers of thin-walled parenchyma cells. The cortex consists

o Radial, as well as tangential walls of endodermal cells, have a

deposition of water-impermeable waxy material suberin in the form of
Casparian strips.
o Endodermis forms a watertight jacket around vascular tissue, so also
called an internal biological barrier.
o Some endodermal cells near the protoxylem have no Casparian strips,
called passage cells or transfusion cells. They allow radial diffusion of water
and minerals through the endodermis.

Stele
All tissues on the inner side of the endodermis such as the pericycle, vascular
bundle, and pith.

Pericycle
It is made from thin-walled parenchymatous cells and is the outermost layer of the
stellar system. Monocot roots do not undergo secondary growth. Hence, the
pericycle only gives out lateral roots.

Vascular bundles
Radial vascular bundle (Xylem and phloem), Exarch xylem (protoxylem towards
periphery metaxylem towards the center). Usually, polyarch means more than 6
xylem and phloem patches.

Pith
It is an enormous, well-developed piece of the monocot root and comprises thin-
walled parenchymatous tissue. It contains high measures of starch grains. The
parenchymatous cells which lie between xylem and phloem cells are called
conjunctive tissue.

Question 2: What are the functions of roots?

Answer:

Roots carry out different roles that are important for the endurance of the plants.
They are a fundamental or coordinated framework that helps the plant in:

 They support the plant body, guaranteeing that it stands erect.

 The primary capability of the roots is to absorb water and break up minerals
from soil which helps during photosynthesis.
 Plants store food as starch in the leaves, shoots, and roots. Examples;
carrots, radish, beetroot, and so on.
 They play important role in the method of reproduction. For example, new
plants emerge from crawling even stems called sprinters (stolons) in jasmine,
grass, and so on. This sort of proliferation is called the vegetative spread.
 Biological Function: They actually take a look at soil disintegration and give
food, and furthermore territory to different organic entities.

Question 3: Why does there no secondary growth occur in monocot roots?

Answer:

5
BIOLOGY = MANDEEP KAJAL SIR { 9050247788 }
 6

Expansion in thickness of stem because of the development of lateral tissues is

called Secondary growth. It happens generally in dicotyledons. It happens by the
arrangement of horizontal meristems like vascular cambium and cork cambium.
Vascular cambium is liable for the intra-stelar auxiliary development and cork
cambium is responsible for extra stelar optional development. Secondary growth
does not occur in monocot plants as they lack cambium in the vascular bundle
between xylem and phloem.

Question 4: Which tissue is present more often in monocot roots than in

dicot roots?

Answer:

Conjunctive tissues are masses of parenchymatous or sclerenchymatous cells that

are available between the xylem and phloem packs in the vascular tissue. The
amount of conjunctive tissue is more in monocot roots due to the presence of a
large number of vascular bundles when compared to dicot roots. In dicot plants,
the conjunctive tissues along with the pericycle lead to the vascular cambium
during auxiliary development. No cambium development happens in monocot
roots.

Question 5: How many vascular bundles are present in monocot roots?

Answer:

In monocot roots, the protoxylem components face pericycle among xylem and
phloem components. Parenchyma cells are available comprising conjunctive
tissue. This tissue doesn’t become meristematic. Vascular bundles are typically
more than six in number and up to 20.

Question 6: Do dicot roots contains a Casparian strip?

Answer:

The Casparian strip is available in both monocot and dicot roots. The Casparian
strip is the suberised, water-impermeable layer present in the endodermis.

Monocot and Dicot Stems – Definition, Structure, Characteristics,

Examples
Flowering Plants (Blooming plants) are really characterized into two classes in light
of their undeveloped organism, called Monocotyledonous (monocot) plants
and Dicotyledonous plants. Allow us to figure out additional about these plants.

We can undoubtedly see the underlying similitudes and varieties in the outer
morphology of the bigger living creature, the two plants, and creatures. Essentially,
if we somehow happened to concentrate on the inward construction, one to track
down a few likenesses as well as contrasts. This part presents you with the inward
design and useful association of higher plants. Investigation of the inward design
of plants is called life systems. Plants have cells as the fundamental unit, cells are
coordinated into tissues and thus the tissues are coordinated into organs. Various
organs in a plant show contrast in their inward construction. Inside angiosperms,
the monocots and dicots are likewise seen to be physically unique. Inner designs
additionally show transformations to different conditions.

Dicotyledonous
The dicotyledons, otherwise called dicots, are one of the two gatherings into which
every one of the blooming plants was previously isolated. The name alludes to one
of the average qualities of the gathering: specifically, that the seed has two early-
stage leaves or cotyledons.

Stems

 Stems are normally strong.

 Cambium is available.
 The quantity of xylem and phloem is two to four and they are recognized by
a layer of parenchymatous cells called conjunctive tissue.

 Vascular groups in the stem are less organized around and around or ring.
 Essence is obvious as is comprised of palisade cells.
 Pack sheath missing around vascular groups.
 The pericycle is available.
 Phloem parenchyma and phloem strands are available.

Monocotyledonous
Monocotyledons regularly alluded to as monocots are endlessly grass-like
blossoming plants, the seeds of which normally contain just a single early-stage
leaf or cotyledon.

Stems

 No cambium thus no auxiliary development in the stem.

 The stem is generally empty.
 Vascular groups in the stem are dispersed and various.
 Phloem parenchyma is missing.
 Essence is missing.
 Vascular groups are encircled by a sclerenchymatous pack sheath.
 The pericycle is missing.

Examples

1. Examples of Dicotyledonous plants: Tomatoes, Cauliflower, beans, apples,

potatoes, and so forth.
2. Examples of Monocotyledonous (monocot) plants are Maize, Corn, Grass,
and Wheat.

Describe the Internal Structure of a Dorsiventral Leaf

Flowering plants are also known as angiosperms. The anatomy of flowering plants
includes the organization of cells and tissues within the bodies of a flowering plant.
Tissues are formed by a group of cells to perform a function. Flowers are known
as the reproductive part of the plant since they play the main role in the process of
reproduction. Angiosperms are additionally partitioned into monocotyledon and
dicotyledon. Monocots vary from dicots in four particular primary highlights: leaves,
stems, roots, and flowers. Plants whose seeds contain 1 cotyledon are called
Monocots whereas plants whose seeds contain 2 cotyledons are called dicots.

Leaves are important parts of the plant which are mainly involved in
photosynthesis. Leaves contain three types of issues which are ground, dermal
and vascular. The dermal tissue framework comprises an upper epidermis and
lower epidermis. The ground tissue framework that lies between the epidermal
layers of the leaf is known as mesophyll tissue. Frequently it is separated into
palisade parenchyma on the adaxial (upper) side and spongy parenchyma on the
abaxial (lower) side.

A leaf showing this separation in mesophyll is assigned as dorsiventral. It is normal

in dicot leaves. The leaves in which mesophyll is not separated like spongy or
palisade parenchyma as in monocots, it is called isobilateral. The mesophyll
tissue, particularly supple parenchyma cells encase a ton of air spaces. The
presence of air spaces is a unique component of springy cells. They work with the
vaporous trade between the interior photosynthetic tissue (mesophyll) and the
outer air through the stomata.

The vascular tissue framework is made out of vascular packs. The vascular tissue
frames the skeleton of the leaf and they are known as veins. The veins supply
water and minerals to the photosynthetic tissue.

Anatomy of Dorsiventral (Dicotyledonous leaf)

Dorsiventral leaves can be seen in dicot plants. The internal structure of a
dorsiventral leaf shows three particular parts.

Upper epidermis

It is the peripheral layer present on the upper side of the leaf. It is a solitary layer of
parenchymatous cells without intercellular spaces. The external walls of the cells
are covered with the defensive layer, the fingernail skin. The quantity of stomata
present in this layer is less.

BIOLOGY = MANDEEP KAJAL SIR { 9050247788 } 0
 11

Lower epidermis
It is the peripheral layer present on the lower side of the leaf. It is a solitary layer of
parenchymatous cells without intercellular spaces. The external walls of the cells
are covered with cuticles. An impressive number of stomata are available in this
layer. Chloroplasts are present just in bean-formed cells, which encompass the
stomata openings. With the assistance of stomata, the lower epidermis helps in
the trading of gases. Stomata are higher on the abaxial epidermis and the lower
epidermis contains stomata without chloroplast.

Mesophyll

Between the upper and lower epidermis, there is a whole mass of ground tissue
called mesophyll. It comprises of two various types of parenchyma which are

 Palisade parenchyma-This parenchyma is present beneath the upper

epidermis. These are extended parenchymatous cells as they have more
chloroplasts. In this way, these cells engaged in the course of photosynthesis.
The cells have extremely limited intercellular spaces.
 Spongy parenchyma-Beneath the palisade parenchyma tissue, springy
parenchyma is available. Here, tissues are organized sporadically with
intercellular spaces. Thus, cells are for the most part round or oval. This tissue
likewise helps in the vaporous trade.

Vascular bundles

These are encircled by thick group sheath cells and should be visible in veins and
midrib. These are distinct in size because of reticulate venation. Xylem lies toward
the upper epidermis and phloem toward the lower epidermis. The single mid-vein
vascular group is bigger, and a few more modest veinlet vascular packs are more
modest. More modest vascular packs are uninhibitedly dispersed in mesophyll
cells of the leaf.

Question 2: What are the parenchymatous cells present in the dicot leaf?

Answer:

1
BIOLOGY = MANDEEP KAJAL SIR { 9050247788 } 2
 13

The two types of parenchymatous cells present in the mesophyll of the dicot leaf
are palisade and spongy parenchyma. The palisade parenchyma cells are
columnar or rod-shaped cells that are located below the upper epidermis. They
have small intercellular spaces and more chloroplasts. Palisade parenchymatous
cells are locked in with the course of photosynthesis. Spongy parenchyma cells
are inexactly organized and enclose plentiful intercellular spaces. They also
contain chloroplasts. Since chloroplasts are plentiful in palisade parenchyma, the
upper surface of leaves is darker when contrasted with the lower surface

Question 3: Which tissue is absent in monocot plants?

Answer:

Collenchyma is basically present in stems, leaves, and floral parts and is the vitally
supporting tissue in many mature eudicot leaves and a few green stems. Roots
rarely have Collenchyma however Collenchyma might occur in the cortex of the
root if it is presented to light. Collenchyma is missing in monocots and roots
because of the early improvement of sclerenchyma. Sclerenchyma gives
mechanical solidarity to plants so there will be no requirement for improvement of
Collenchyma.

Question 4: Why is a monocot leaf called Isobilateral?

Answer:

Monocot leaf is called isobilateral considering the way that both the surfaces of the
leaf are comparably green. The type of leaves which are similar in appearance on
both sides leaf are called isobilateral leaves.

Question 5: Why do dicots have more number of stomata?

The stomata of dicot plants are little pores encompassed by two bean-formed
watch cells. They are available in the lower epidermis of the dicot leaf. Hence, the
stomata circulation of dicot plants are called as hypostomatic distribution. The
dissemination of stomata permits dicot plants to prevent water loss by transpiration
and preserve water inside the plant. A low minority of dicot plants likewise contain
stomata in the upper epidermis. But these plants have special adaptations to
prevent excessive water loss through transpiration.

Question 6: What is the difference between monocot and dicot plants?

Answer:

Monocots vary from dicots in four particular primary highlights: leaves, stems,
roots, and flowers. Plants whose seeds contain 1 cotyledon are called Monocots
whereas plants whose seeds contain 2 cotyledons are called dicots.

Isobilateral (Monocotyledonous) Leaf – Definition, Features,

Structure, Examples
On account of the isobilateral leaf, the mesophyll tissue in the leaves isn’t
separated. It consists of either just springy or palisade parenchyma cells. These
sorts of leaves are comparative in an appearance on both sides and,
subsequently, are called isobilateral kinds of leaves. On account of the isobilateral
leaf, the mesophyll tissue in the leaves isn’t separated. It comprises either just
supple or palisade parenchyma cells. These kinds of leaves are comparable in an
appearance on both sides and, consequently, are called isobilateral sort of leaves.
Most dicots have dorsiventral leaves that are net-veined, including most trees,
hedges, garden plants, and wildflowers. Isobilateral leaves. Isobilateral leaves
situate themselves lined up with the principal hub and lined up with the bearing of
daylight. Isobilateral leaves arrange themselves lined up with the primary pivot and
lined up with the bearing of daylight. Most monocots have equal veined isobilateral
leaves, including grasses and grass-like plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises, and so
forth. Monocot leaf is called isobilateral in light of the fact that both the surfaces of
the leaf are similarly green. Leaf, in which the two surfaces are comparable in
appearance, are called isobilateral leaves. These are tracked down in
monocotyledons. It is because of the presence of light parenchyma.

These leaves situate themselves lined up with the significant hub and lined up with
the bearing of daylight. Most monocots have equal veined isobilateral leaves,
including grasses and grass-like plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises, and so forth.
Epidermis: Monocot leaf has upper and lower epidermis. Isobilateral leaves situate
themselves lined up with the fundamental pivot and lined up with the heading of

daylight. Most monocots have equal veined isobilateral leaves, including grasses
and grass-like plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises, and so on.

Most leaves have specific normal highlights like a covering of an epidermal layer
on each surface. The ground tissue that happens between the two epidermal
layers is called mesophyll. Vascular groups, normally known as veins, are
implanted in the mesophyll. The design and attributes of every one of these layers
contrast enormously for dorsiventral and isobilateral leaves.

Diagnostic feature of isobilateral Leaf

 Two epidermal layers.

 The Cuticle is available on both epidermal layers.
 Engine Cells are present in the upper epidermis.
 Mesophyll tissue is not separated into palisade and light parenchyma.
 Conjoint, insurance, shut-vascular groups.
 In an isobilateral leaf, the stomata are available on both the surfaces of the
epidermis; and the mesophyll isn’t separated into palisade and light
parenchyma. These sorts of leaves are comparable in an appearance on the two
sides and, consequently, are called an isobilateral kind of leaves.

On account of the isobilateral leaf, the mesophyll tissue in the leaves isn’t
separated. It is composed of either just elastic or palisade parenchyma cells.
These sorts of leaves are comparable in an appearance on both sides and,
consequently, are called isobilateral kinds of leaves. Dorsiventral passes on
situating themselves at a point to the principal pivot and opposite to the heading of
daylight. Most dicots have dorsiventral leaves that are net-veined, including most
trees, shrubs, garden plants, and wildflowers. Dorsiventral leaves are otherwise
called dicot leaves, as they are tracked down in dicotyledons and contain distinct
dorsal and ventral sides. It is considered from one another as they contrast from
one another in structure as well as appearance. It is separated into palisade
parenchyma as well as supple parenchyma.

Anatomy of Isobilateral Leaf

The leaf is the fundamental part of the various pieces of a plant. Leaves carry out
two exceptionally fundamental roles, i.e., photosynthesis and happening. Leaf life
structures assist us with understanding the tissues and sorts of cells engaged with
these cycles and how they work together to perform them effectively. Leaf life
structures are read up for significantly two unique kinds of leaves in angiosperms.
The dorsiventral leaf and the isobilateral leaf. These two leaves feature the
assortment in course of action of tissues and alteration as per the capacities.
Dorsiventral leaves show a level arrangement, with all-around separated upper
and lower surfaces. The upper surface of the leaf is known as the adaxial or
ventral surface. The lower surface of the leaf is known as the abaxial or dorsal
surface. An upward cross-part of the leaf displays epidermis (upper and lower),
mesophyll, and vascular groups. Isobilateral leaves or monocot leaves are not
separated into two particular surfaces. The two surfaces are similarly enlightened
by the sun. The leaves show equal venation. The leaf base in many monocots
frames a sheath-like construction that covers the stem. The interior association
doesn’t show a lot of separation from the dicot leaf.

Key feature of Isobilateral Leaf

On account of the isobilateral leaf, the mesophyll tissue in the leaves isn’t
separated. It is composed of either just supple or palisade parenchyma cells.
These kinds of leaves are comparative in an appearance on both sides and,
subsequently, are called isobilateral sort of leaves. In the dorsiventral leaf, a tissue
that is present between the upper and lower epidermis is known as Mesophyll. The
chloroplast is present in this tissue and performs the process of photosynthesis.
This mesophyll tissue is made up of two types of parenchymatous cells called
spongy and palisade parenchyma.

Differences between the isobilateral and dorsiventral Leaf

Dorsi-ventral Leaves

Dorsiventral passes on situating themselves at a point to the principal pivot and

opposite to the course of daylight. Most dicots have dorsiventral leaves that are
net-veined, including most trees, hedges, garden plants, and wildflowers.

 The quantity of stomata is erring on the abaxial epidermis than the adaxial
epidermis.
 The mesophyll is separated into light and palisade parenchyma.
 Vascular groups are enormous and change in size according to the size of
veins.
 Bulliform cells are missing
 Inside, the leaf is separated into the upper and lower epidermis and
mesophyll, which are in the middle of between the two epidermises.
 The circulation of stomata is normally limited to bringing down the epidermis.

Isobilateral Leaves

Isobilateral leaves situate themselves lined up with the principal pivot and lined up
with the course of daylight. Most monocots have equal veined isobilateral leaves,
including grasses and grass-like plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises, and so on.

 A practically equivalent number of stomata is available on the abaxial and

adaxial surfaces.
 The mesophyll layer isn’t separated into elastic and palisade parenchyma.
 Vascular packs are comparable in size, just the groups close to the mid-vein
are enormous.
 Bulliform cells are available.
 Inside, the leaf is separated into the upper and lower epidermis, and
mesophyll, which is in the middle of the two epidermises.
 The stomata are distributed on both the epidermises.

Conceptual Questions
Question 1: The cross-area part of a plant material shows the accompanying
physical highlights – (a) the vascular packs are conjoint, dissipated, and
encompassed by a sclerenchymatous group of sheaths. (b) phloem
parenchyma is missing. What will you recognize it as?

Answer:
1
BIOLOGY = MANDEEP KAJAL SIR { 9050247788 } 7
 18

The cross area is of Monocot stem. It is on the grounds that the vascular groups
are scattered in monocot stems. The phloem parenchyma isn’t found.
Question 2: For what reason are xylem and phloem called complex tissues?

Answer:

Xylem and Phloem are called complex tissues since they are made of more than
one sort of cells which cooperate as a unit to fill the role. Xylem transports water
while phloem transports food.

Question 3: What is a stomatal contraption?

Answer:

Stomata are structures present in the epidermis of leaves. Stomata control the
course of happening and vaporous trade. Every stoma is made out of two bean-
molded cells known as gatekeeper cells which encase stomatal pore.

Watch cells are free weight formed, where its external divider is meager and
internal divider is profoundly thickened. These designs have chloroplasts and
control the end and opening of the stomata. The epidermal cells close to the
watchman cells at times become had practical experience in their construction
shape and size, they are alluded to as auxiliary cells. The gatekeeper cells, the
stomatal gap and supporting auxiliary cells are by and large alluded to as stomatal
contraption.

Question 4: Name the three fundamental tissue frameworks in the blooming

plants. Give the tissue names under every framework.

Answer:

Following are the three essential tissue frameworks in the blooming plants.

 Epidermal tissue framework

 Epidermal tissue framework incorporates epidermis and epidermal
extremities. Epidermis contains epidermal cells and watchman cells while the
epidermal limbs incorporates root hair, stem hair, stinging hair and glandular
hair.
 The ground tissue framework
 The ground tissue framework is comprised of straightforward tissues like
parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
 Vascular tissue framework
 The vascular tissue framework comprises of mind-boggling tissues like
Xylem, phloem, and vascular cambium.

Question 5: How is the investigation of plant life structures helpful to us?

Answer:

Investigation of plant life structures is helpful to us in the accompanying ways-

 To figure out underlying variations in plants to various climatic circumstances

 Accommodating in recognizing monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms.
 Physiological circumstances can be contemplated, which help in crop
improvement.
 Investigation of plant filaments, for example, flax, jute, and so on help in their
business double-dealing as it empowers them to anticipate the strength of wood
which can be used to its true capacity.

Question 6: What is periderm? How does periderm arrangement occur in the

dicot stems?

Answer:

Phellogen, phellem, and phelloderm are by and large known as periderm. While
plants go through auxiliary development, the external epidermal layer and the
cortical layer are torn because of cambium. To supplant them, the cortex cells turn
meristematic which creates the plug cambium or the phellogen which contains a
meager walled, thin, and rectangular cells.

The phellogen sheds cells on either side. The cells which shed from the outside
bring about the stopper or phellem. The suberin collects in its cell divider making it
impermeable to water while the inward cells arise to turn into the auxiliary cortex or
phelloderm which is parenchymatous.

Question 7: In the isobilateral leaf, more plastids are viewed, why?

Answer:

In the isobilateral leaf, there is no separation of mesophyll into supple and palisade
parenchymal. Every one of the cells of chlorenchyma is indistinguishable,
isodiametric, and minimally organized. There are various parietal chloroplasts in all
the mesophyll cells. This gives both the surfaces of the leaves a similar variety.
