Classes of Plants Two classes : Angiosperms and
gymnosperms
Angiosperm = flowering plants Gymnosperms = non flowering plants
(usually involves reproduction through seeds)
Monocot vs. Dicot Angiosperms (flowering plants) are divided
into monocots and dicots As the zygote grows into the embryo, the
first leaves of the young plant develop and are called cotyledons (seed leaves)
Monocots have one cotyledon (corn, lily, etc).
Dicots have two cotyledons (bean, oak, etc).
Monocot vs. Dicot Vascular bundle position:
Monocot: scattered throughoutthe stem
Dicot: arranged in a circle
