Answer: Sunflower
: Dicot, Pansies
: Dicot, Hydrangeas: Monocots.
Explanation:
Within the plant kingdom, seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Angiosperms are the group of plants that have flowers, within which we have monocotyledons and dicotyledons or eudicotyledons. A cotyledon is a leaf-like structure found on the seed so it is an embryonic leaf. Its function is to absorb nutrients in the seed until it develops true leaves that will allow to perform photosynthesis.
Monocotyledons are flowering plants whose seeds have one cotyledon. Dicotyledons are flowering plants whose seeds have two lateral cotyledons. Both monocot and dicot seeds have an embryo plant, a coat, and is able to store nutrients.
The true leaves monocots will be thin and long, while dicot leaves will be broad. Another characteristic is that the major veins of monocots are parallel and stripe-like while the dicot veins branch out. Also, monocots have flower parts in multiples of 3 while dicot flower parts are produced in multiples of 4 and 5. Roots in monocots sprout from many parts of the plant while dicot roots develop only from the radicle, which is the first part of a seedling to emerge during germination. This means monocots do not have secondary growth and dicots usually produce secondary growth.
- Sunflower
: Dicot, because it shows two cotyledons when the seed germinates.
- Pansies
: Dicot, because it has 5 leaves.
- Hydrangeas: Monocots, they only have one cotyledon.
