    1. The document describes an experiment comparing the internal structures of monocot and dicot plants under a microscope. 2. Samples of leaves, stems, roots, and onion skin from monocot and dicot plants were examined longitudinally and transversely. 3. The observations showed distinct differences in the structures of monocot versus dicot plants, such as monocot leaves having similar stomata on both surfaces while dicots have more on the lower surface.

    PROBLEM: What are the different characteristics of the internal structure of the different plants
    such as in monocots and dicots?
    HYPOTHESIS: Dicot and Monocot plants have different structures under the microscope
    MATERIALS:
    Leaves (monocot and dicot) 2 Glass slides Betadine
    Stem (monocot and dicot) 2 cover slips Microscope
    Roots (monocot and dicot) Blade / Cutter
    Onion skin Water
    PROCEDURES:
    Leaves
    1. Get the monocot and dicot leaves
    2. Cut it both in longitudinal-sections to see the specimen’s internal structure using a blade
    3. Place it under the microscope and view it in HPO and LPO
    Stem
    1. Get the monocot and dicot stems
    2. Cut it both in cross-sections to see the stems’ internal structure using a blade
    3. Put the sliced stem on the glass slide
    4. Place it under the microscope and view it in HPO and LPO
    Roots
    1. Get the monocot and dicot roots
    2. Cut it both in longitudinal-sections to see the specimen’s internal structure
    3. Put the sliced root on the glass slide
    4. Add a drop a water. This is to suspend the specimen between the slide and cover slip and
    adhesive forces between water and glass slide will hold the cover slip in place.
    5. Place it under the microscope and view it in HPO and LPO
    Onion
    1. Get a thin slice of the onion skin from the onion.
    2. Put it on a glass slide
    3. Add a drop of betadine on the onion skin. Iodine is often used to stain onion cells before
    microscopic examination to enhance the visibility of the cells.
    4. Place a cover slip on top of the onion skin
    5. View the structure of the onion skin under the microscope in HPO and LPO.

    CONCLUSION
    The data gathered from the observation presented distinct characteristics of monocot and
    dicot plants. The main difference is that monocot leaf, on either side, contains similar amount of
    stomata. However, the dicot has few in the upper surface and plentiful amount at its lower
    surface.
    Furthermore, monocots leaves have small spaces in between cells. On the other hand, the
    dicot leaves have wide spaces in between them. On the leaves' surfaces, monocot leaves have
    identical cuticle. For dicot leaves, the lower layer has a narrow cuticle and broad cuticle in the
    upper layer.
