MONOCOT AND

DICOT
What are seeds?
Compare characteristics of different
plants seeds.

Explain the growth process of monocot

seeds compared to a dicot seed.
Identify the parts of the
seed.
What are the three basic parts of a
seed?
How about the parts of the embryo plant?
When do we say that a seed or seedling is a
monocot or dicot?

 What is a seed?
A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a
protective outer covering, along with a food
reserve. The formation of the seed is a part of
the process of reproduction in seed plants,
the spermatophytes, including the
gymnosperm and angiosperm plants.
A Seed is primarily of two
types.
The two types are: 
Monocotyledonous Seed. 
Dicotyledonous Seed.
Monocotyledonous Seed. 
A monocotyledonous seed has embryos that
possess only one large cotyledon called scutellum.
Generally, the scutellum is shaped like a shield. It is
located laterally towards the side of the embryo axis.

Wheat, corn, millet, lilies, sugarcane, banana, onions,

ginger, palm, and bamboo.

Monocotyledonous Seed. 
Dicotyledonous Seed.
Dicot seeds(Dicotyledons) are the seeds which
have two embryonic leaves and cotyledons. They
are one of the two groups into which all the
flowering plants were divided.

Examples of Dicot Seeds: Bitter gourd seeds, Castor seeds, Mango seeds,
Neem Seeds, Night Jasmine seeds, Papaya seeds and Tamarind seeds.

EXPLORING
MONOCOTS AND
DICOTS.
 After germination, which seedlings or germinated
seeds are monocot or dicot?
When a monocot seed germinates,
it produces a single leaf. It is
usually long and narrow, like the
adult leaf. Even when it is quite a
round shape, there is only one seed
leaf in a monocot. When a dicot
germinates, it produces two seed
leaves.
After germination, how do you know if the seed or
seedling is monocot or dicot?

When a monocot seed germinates, it produces a

single leaf. It is usually long and narrow, like the
adult leaf. Even when it is quite a round shape,
there is only one seed leaf in a monocot. When a
dicot germinates, it produces two seed leaves.
