What is the difference of a DICOT and MONOCOT at a CELLULAR LEVEL? please..please..thank you!?

Dicotyledons or "dicots" is a name for a group of flowering plants whose seed typically contains two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. Flowering plants that are not dicotyledons are monocotyledons, often having one embryonic leaf only.\n\nIt is now accepted, thanks to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, that monocotyledons evolved from within the dicotyledons, and as such the latter form a paraphyletic group. This means that dicotyledons no longer are regarded as a "good" group, and the names "dicotyledons" and "dicots" are no longer to be used, at least in a taxonomic sense. The vast majority of the former dicots, however, form a monophyletic group called the eudicots or tricolpates. These may be distinguished from all other flowering plants by the structure of their pollen. Other dicotyledons and monocotyledons have monosulcate pollen, or forms derived from it, whereas eudicots have tricolpate pollen, or derived forms, the pollen having three or more pores set in furrows called colpi.

these are called the classical "work horses" of plant and aniamal cells respectivly.  Regardless chlorplast is reposnsible the energy conversionin photsysnthesis and mitochondia is used in cell metabolism to provide energy through ATP-ADP energy relationships. Any basic science book would do this and so would a Wikepedia or googlesearch. I woudl suggest you go there to get spsecifics, or try the library in your neighbourhood

Formation of a cell wall is a characteristic feature of all plant cells.Its formation in angiosperms does not differ much from its formation in other plants cells.\n After the nuclear division is over (end of karyokinesis)only then the division of cytoplasm(cytokinesis) begins.\n A number of microtubules are laid across the original cell, equidistant from the two recently formed daughter nuclei. They fuse to form middle lamella.This is the first dividing boundery between the two cells. Deposition of cellulose now begins on this middle lamella from either side and the wall formation is completed. Thus, a cell wall in plant cells is by and large made up of a complex carbohydrate called cellulose and in between the two layers of cellulose there is a layer called middle lamella.It is like butter sandwich. Just as the layer of butter holds the two slices of bread together or just as the layer of cement holds two adjecent bricks together and forms a wall; like wise the middle lamella holds the cells together and helps to form a tissue.

Plants are believed to have evolved from green algae, as they are both photosynthetic possessing the same pigments for photosynthesis.  Fungi are actually quite dissimilar from plants as they are not photosynthetic, some are parasites and all are chemotrophic.  They also use chitin in their cell walls as opposed to cellulose.  Fungi also store energy in the form of glycogen not starch, as plants do.

General\n Both are stationary and produce spores/seeds for reproduction.\n Both go through an alternation of generations.\n Both are classified at the nost basic level by method of reproduction.\n Many plants and fungi have asexual as well as sexual reproduction methods.\n\n plants=photosynthesis\n fungi=feed on living or once living material (unable to photosynthesize)\n\n\nTry making a chart with fungi in one column and plants in the other. Then compare the different information you have.

cellouse is the awnser its a polysacharide. trust me chloroplasts are in the cell not part of the cell wall. IM in AP bio

Hey, this is a question I asked my professor, how funny, lol. \n\nFirst of all, it's important to note the differences between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell.  \n\nCells that lack a membrane-bound nucleus are called prokaryotes (from the Greek meaning before nuclei). These cells have few internal structures that are distinguishable under a microscope. Cells in the monera kingdom such as bacteria and cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells differ significantly from eukaryotic cells. They don't have a membrane-bound nucleus and instead of having chromosomal DNA, their genetic information is in a circular loop called a plasmid. \n\nTake a look at this picture:  http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/media/prokaryote.gif\n\nEukaryotic cells comprise all of the life kingdoms except monera. They can be easily distinguished through a membrane-bound nucleus.  Eukaryotic cells also contain many internal membrane-bound structures called organelles. These organelles such as the mitochondrion or chloroplast serve to perform metabolic functions and energy conversion. \n\nTake a look at this picture:  http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/media/eukaryote_animal.gif\n\nFor a brief and quick response, ...a eukaryotic cell is a larger cell with distinctly more organelles within the cell.  They differ in size greatly :)

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall and have chloroplasts and large central vacuoles.  Animal cells have lysosomes and centrioles.

plant cells form a disk during the final splitting phase, while animal membranes constrict.  Also, it is easier to see earlier in animals, and animals have centrioles, plants dont.  thats all my textbook says.  the phases and everything are the same, though.

The attached link has a picture for you;\n\n\n\nhttp://collections.ic.gc.ca/gardens/New%20Bio%20Web%20Pix/OPTIMIZED%20BIO%20PLANT%20PARTS/Monocot.jpg

If you compare a CELL of monocot with that of dicot, then there is no difference at all.

the shape of animal cell can be altered while plant cell have a fixed shape. \nplant cell have cell wall but animal cell have none. \nplant cell have ssap vacoule but animal cell have none  ( if there was one it is really small).\n\nother differences if you would like to know\nthe plant cell nucleus is at one side while the animal cell nuclues is centrally located.\nthe presence of chloroplast in plant cell while animal cell have none.

Generally, monocots photosynthesize via the C4 pathway.  That means they have specialized internal framework called kranz anatomy to allow photosynthesis to occur.  It occurs in a different way then dicots so that their stomata dont need to stay open as long so they can conserve more water since monocots are typically found in dry climates.

One thing that differs plants from animal is their  hability to synthetize (create) the own food.  Plant build carbohidrates from the photosynthesis process.  Animal can't build their own food.  \n\nBut in the kingdom Protista are living organism that have the two charateristics.  Build their own food and eat other substances as an energy source.  One example is the single-celled Euglena.

D is the answer.  One cell differentiates and the other cell remains pleuripotent (has the ability to differentiate into many other types of cells).\nHere is why the other choices are incorrect.  Sometimes the other cell will die.  This happens in certain types of ground tissue, but only after the cell has differentiated into a specialized type of cell, which is why A is not the answer.  B is not the answer because gamete in plants is only formed by mitosis.  Only the gametophyte produces gametes and gametophytes are haploid so they only need to undergo mitosis to produce a gamete.  C is not the answer becuase the formation of a zygote requires the fusion of two cells, which does not happen under hte conditions of this question.

Sounds like 1st yr HS biology homework.  Here´s a hint:\nBoth have a nucleus, DNA material, function similarly.\n\nThe rest should be in your text book, just look at the two diagrams and list the similar inner parts of the cells.\n\nOne more hint:\nHow they differ-\nPlant cells have rectangular shapes and have chloroplasts w/ chlorophyl.\n\nAnimal cells are round.
