Notes from NEET topper
Dicot vs. Monocot
Dermal Tissue
- Dicots: Often have trichomes (hair-like structures) and stomata are usually more regulated.
- Monocots: Generally have a more uniform distribution of stomata and lack trichomes.
Vascular Tissue
- Dicots:
- Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring in the stem.
- Secondary growth common, leading to an increase in girth.
- Xylem often forms an ‘X’ shape in cross-section.
- Monocots:
- Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem.
- Lack secondary growth.
- Xylem and phloem in each bundle are often close together.
