bean

monocot• plant whose seeds have 1 cotyledon

Monocot seed: a – Seedcoatb – Endospermc – Cotyledond - Embryo

dicot• plant whose seeds

have 2 cotyledons

A - seedcoat, B - endosperm, C - cotyledons, D - embryo

ways that seeds spread :

Coconuts -seeds

scattered by water.

animals help scatter seeds

asexual reproduction

• 2 ways: runners & budding

• only 1 parent (no sperm or egg cells)

• offspring have same genes as parent

Spider plants are common houseplants

that can reproduce by growing new

plants on long stems called

runners.

Duckweed is a tiny plant that floats on ponds and is food for ducks and other birds.

It is one of the smallest flowering plants, but it reproduces mostly by a kind of asexual reproduction called budding. Little buds form on the plant and drop off to grow as separateplants.
