Question
What is the difference between monocot and dicot leaves?
✓
Answer
Stomata are found on both surfaces in monocot leaves, while they are found on ventral surface only, in dicot leaves. In monocot leaves venation is parallel, which is evident by similar size of vascular bundles. In dicot leaves venation is reticulate, so vascular bundles are of various sizes. Spongy mesophyll is present in dicot leaves, and absent in monocot leaves.
