The document discusses experiments comparing the morphology and anatomy of monocot and dicot plants. It describes experiments examining the leaf, stem, and root of monocot and dicot plants under a microscope. The experiments show differences in features like epidermis, vascular bundles, and arrangement of xylem and phloem between monocot and dicot plant structures.

MORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF DICOT AND MONOCOT PLANTS
NAME NURUL HANIM BINTI MUHAMT NOH
STUDENT ID 2021872162 CLASS M3AT1101H LECTURER SHAMPAZURAINI BINTI SAMSURI INTRODUCTION Angiosperms is the type of plant kingdom which is a flowering plant. It is can be divided into two main groups which is monocotyledonous (monocots) and dicotyledonous (dicots) plant. Monocot plants is a plant that have only one cotyledon in the seed where dicot plants are a plant that have two cotyledons in the seed. There are many differences between these two types of cotyledons likes a pattern of their leaf, a pattern of their flower, a position root of xylem and phloem and other than that. Moreover, there are some key features (morphological and anatomical) that we can look to determine whether a plant is monocot or dicot.
EXPERIMENT 1: MONOCOT AND DICOT LEAF
Materials that we need to use: Monocot leaf Dicot leaf Microscope
The method is a very simple which is we just need to get a dicot and monocot leaf specimen like a picture that provided above and see it under a microscope. Results and Discussions: The leaf of monocot and dicot that we see under microscope we will get like a picture provided above. Monocot leaf epidermis was most thick than dicot epidermis leaf which is cover with a waxy cuticle and lax chloroplast. The guard cell is also makes up in the majority of all leaf tissues and it is including the photosynthetic cells and the veins which carry a both xylem and phloem. In monocot, leaf the veins are typically travel in parallel and the mesophyll more similar throughout. In contrast, the leaf of dicot tends to have a centriole which carries the vascular tissue from the branches and travel throughout the leaf.
Materials that we need to use: Sample of monocot and dicot stem Sharp blade Watch glass Glass slaid Cover slip Brush Glycerine Safranine Microscope Procedure or Method: 1) Take monocot and dicot stem, then cut the thin sections as much as possible with a help of a sharp blade. 2) Cut at least 4-5 sections. 3) Keep the cut sections in watch glass containing water. (In this step, we must do it carefully with the help of brush only). 4) Add some safranin to watch glass containing water to stain the selected sections. 5) Then, transfer the sections to fresh water to remove extra stain. 6) After that, transfer one very thin section on clean slide and remove extra stain from section using a blotting paper. 7) Add a single drop of glycerine on the section and put the coverslip gently to avoid the formation of bubbles. 8) Precautions: Do not overstain or understain sections Extra stain and glycerine should not come out of the slide, actually you can use filter paper or tissue paper to clean it.
Results and Discussions :
There are have a similarities comparing at these stems of monocot and dicot , which include the majority of flowering plants stem tissue composes the majority of the structure surrounded by external empty terminals in both stem . The differences are in an monocot these vascular bundles are smaller than vascular bundles in dicot .

EXPERIMENT 3 : MONOCOT AND DICOT ROOT
Materials that we need to use : Monocot and dicot root Sharp blade Glass slide Cover slips Microscope Brush Watch glass Glycerine Safranine Procedure or Methods : 1) Take monocot and dicot root , then cut the thin sections as much as possible using a sharp blade . 2) Cut at least 4-5 sections . 3) Keep the cut sections in watch glass containing water. (In this step, we must do it carefully with the help of brush only). 4) Add some safranin to watch glass containing water to stain the selected sections. 5) Then, transfer the sections to fresh water to remove extra stain. 6) After that, transfer one very thin section on clean slide and remove extra stain from section using a blotting paper. 7) Add a single drop of glycerine on the section and put the coverslip gently to avoid the formation of bubbles. Results and discussions :
The roots of monocots and young dicots are similar in that is an outer epidermis , a cortex and in endodermis known as the paricycle interior tooth . Bundles of xylem vessels and bundles of phloem are set near the xylem.In monocots, vascular bundles are arranged in a circular arrangement , while in dicot the xylem form the centriol x shaped formation . In dicot , the pericycle and the parenchyma around the vascular fibers can form hair root vascular cambium .

CONCLUSIONS
For conclusion for these three experiments , we can conclude that , for the first experiment is about the leaf of monocot and dicot . From the experiment , we can see that monocot leaf and dicot leaf have a differentiation in the size of epidermis , guard cell , mesophyl palisade and others . In the experiment 2 which is we observe about a monocot and dicot stem . In these experiment , we can see that a differentiation between a monocot stem and dicot stem likes a cambium vascular , a position of xylem and phloem and more . And the last one , we do an experiment about monocot and dicot root . In monocot , it is arranged in circular where in dicot it is arranged with an x shaped formation .
QUESTION
