Pants
Objective:
1. To explain what a monocot and dicot
plant is
1. To describe the differences between
monocots and dicots in terms of their
structures

Seeds
Dicots are seeds that have two parts
The two large parts of the seeds are
called cotyledons. They supply the
food for the young plant when it's
growing.
Monocots are seeds that only have
one cotyledon
Leaves
Dicot leaves are usually netveined
(tulang daun menjari/menyirip)
Monocots typically possess
parallel-veined leaves
(tulang daun sejajar)
Flower
Monocots have their flower
parts in threes or multiples
of three; example the tulip
and lily (Lilium ).
(daun berkelipatan tiga)
Dicots have their flower parts in
fours (or multiples) or fives (or
multiples).
(daun berkelipatan empat atau
lima)
Stem
Monocot stems have scattered
vascular bundles.
(berkas pembuluh menyebar)
Monocot stems have most
of their vascular bundles
near the outside edge of
the stem.
Dicot stems have their vascular
bundles in a ring arrangement.

Root
Dicot roots have their xylem in
the center of the root and phloem
outside the xylem.
The roots of dicots are
usually short and stringy.
(akar tunggang)
Monocot roots have their
vascular bundles arranged in
a ring.
The root is often a single long
tap root with smaller roots
growing from it.
(akar serabut)

Dicot Stem Structure
Kambium
Intravaskular
Kambium
Intervaskular
Kolateral
Terbuka
KAMBIUM
Intravaskular :
Kambium yang terdapat diantara xilem
dan phloem
Fungsi : membentuk lingkaran tahun
Intervaskular :
Kambium yang terdapat di antara berkas
pembuluh .
Fungsi : membentuk jari-jari empulur
IKATAN PEMBULUH
(VASCULAR BUNDLE)
• Kolateral : Terbuka dan Tertutup
Terbuka bila antara xilem dan phloem ditemukan
kambium (tanaman dikotil)
Tertutup bila antara xilem dan phloem tidak
ditemukan kambium (monokotil)
• Radial : Amfikribal dan Amfivasal
Amfikribal bila xilem berada di tengah dan
dikelilingi oleh phloem (tanaman paku)
Amfivasal bila floem berada di tengah dan
dikelilingi oleh xilem (tanaman lili)
Cara Mengukur Umur Pohon
dengan Mudah
• Ukurlah keliling batang pohon 1.5 m dari
tanah
• Bagilah keliling pohon dengan 2.5 cm
(setiap tahun bertambah 2.5 cm)
