Study Notes
Monocotyledons
- Characterized by narrow, strap-shaped leaves featuring parallel veins.
- Seeds contain a single cotyledon.
- Roots are fibrous in structure.
- Stomata are evenly distributed on both upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
- Floral parts typically have three petals or multiples thereof.
Dicotyledons
- Feature broad leaves with a network of branched veins.
- Seeds consist of two cotyledons.
- Roots consist of a main tap root with lateral branches.
- Stomata are predominantly located on the lower surface of leaves.
- Floral parts generally include four or five petals or multiples of these numbers.
Plant Kingdom Features
- Organisms possess chlorophyll and engage in photosynthesis for food production.
- Capable of producing flowers as part of their reproductive process.
- Generate fruits that enclose seeds for propagation.
- Seeds germinate under suitable conditions to give rise to new plants.
- Composed of eukaryotic cells, characterized by complex cellular structures.
- Have cell walls primarily made of cellulose, providing structural support.
- Examples include ferns and flowering plants.
Bacteria Features
- Exist in unicellular form, making them the simplest life forms.
- Prokaryotic cells with a cell wall composed of murein.
- Lack a nucleus; DNA resides freely in the cell.
- Some types possess bacterial chlorophyll and are capable of photosynthesis.
- Reproduce asexually through simple binary fission, a rapid process leading to population growth.
Fungi Features
- Composed of eukaryotic cells, fundamentally different from bacteria.
- Have cell walls made from chitin, and some have a combination of chitin and cellulose.
- Majority are multicellular; however, unicellular forms (like yeast) do exist.
- Non-motile, lacking cilia or flagella for movement.
- Typically consist of structures called hyphae.
- The entire structure of a fungus is known as mycelium.
- Reproduction occurs via spores, while yeast specifically reproduces through a process known as budding.
