Slide 3 Identify the type of root in A and B A B

Slide 4 Identify the part of the plant that each labeled item represents

Answers Slide 3 – A. Tap root – B. Fibrous root Slide 4 – A. modified fleshy leaves – B. short stem – C. roots – D. modified stem – E. modified stem

Slide 5 Identify each structure on the seeds and which seed is a monocot and which is a dicot Seed 1 Seed 2

Answers to Slide 5 Seed 1 is a monocot – A. seed coat – B. endosperm – C. cotyledon – D. coleoptile – E. epicotyl – F. hypocotyl – G. radicle Seed 2 is the dicot – H. seed coat – I. cotyledon – J. plumule – L. epicotyl – M. hypocotyl – N. radicle

Instructions Slides 6 and 7 will show several different plant structures. – You need to identify each image as belong to either a monocot or a dicot plant – For stem and root cross sections (Slide 7) you will also need to identify if it is a root or a stem
