• Look through the following slides and identify, label etc.– There is a handout you can print out or use your

own paper

Slide 1

• Identify each of the labelled structures

Slide 2

• Label the structures indicated

Answers

• Slide 1– A. leaf– B. node– C. internode– D. shoot– E. root– F. petiole– G. blade– H. flower– I. stem

• Slide 2– Root apical meristem– Shoot apical meristem– Terminal bud– Axillary bud

Slide 3

• Identify the type of root in A and B

AB

Slide 4

• Identify the part of the plant that each labeled item represents

Answers

• Slide 3– A. Tap root– B. Fibrous root

• Slide 4– A. modified fleshy

leaves– B. short stem– C. roots– D. modified stem– E. modified stem

Slide 5

• Identify each structure on the seeds and which seed is a monocot and which is a dicot

Seed 1

Seed 2

Answers to Slide 5

• Seed 1 is a monocot– A. seed coat– B. endosperm– C. cotyledon– D. coleoptile– E. epicotyl– F. hypocotyl– G. radicle

• Seed 2 is the dicot– H. seed coat– I. cotyledon– J. plumule– L. epicotyl– M. hypocotyl– N. radicle

Instructions

• Slides 6 and 7 will show several different plant structures. – You need to identify each image as belong to either

a monocot or a dicot plant– For stem and root cross sections (Slide 7) you will

also need to identify if it is a root or a stem
