That means it&#8217;s a <strong>Eudicot<\/strong>!<br \/>A Eudicot is a type of <strong>angiosperm<\/strong>, or flowering plant, which evolved to have two cotyledons. They are different from <strong>monocots <\/strong>which only have one cotyledon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other signs of a eudicot in my bean plant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Net-like veins in the leaves <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taproot (believe me its there!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ringed vascular system (on a microscopic level)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other cool things in botany is <strong>phyllotaxy<\/strong>: how leaves are arranged on the stem. I&#8217;ve inserted a handy chart from the internet to explain the differences<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-8.png 743w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-8-300x96.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looks like we&#8217;re dealing with an Opposite Decussate plant. Exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/b0\/30\/e4\/b030e4cd013b0aef9e647fc01b290c7e.jpg\" alt=\"Dicot leaf | Biology plants, Plant science, Plant physiology\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p>Here is a diagram of the leaf itself! The green we see on top of leaves is the protective layer of cells known as the <strong>cuticle<\/strong>. The <strong>mesophyll cells <\/strong>take care of <strong>photosynthesis<\/strong>, and the <strong>stomata <\/strong>are responsible for movement of gases in and out of the plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photosynthesis is the plants way of converting solar energy into useable energy in the form of sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-brightyellow-background-color has-background\">So we know the plant gets water and nutrients from its roots, and gases from it&#8217;s leaves. We also know it creates sugars. So how does this get transported across the plant? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-12.png 850w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-12-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/ncocker-beanplant\/files\/2023\/04\/image-12-768x558.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-brightyellow-background-color has-background\"><strong>Xylem <\/strong>and <strong>Phloem <\/strong>are <strong>vascular <\/strong>tissues: the &#8216;veins&#8217; of the plant. Xylem transports water and nutrients UP from the roots in a one way system. The phloem transports sugars DOWN from the leaves in a TWO WAY system. They work together to supply each cell with what they need to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-orange-background-color has-background\"> <strong>Transpiration <\/strong>pulls water UP the plant: as one water molecule leaves the leaf through the <strong>stomata<\/strong>, in order to keep the <strong>same pressure <\/strong>rate, another water molecule must be brought into the plant. This creates a constant movement of water up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-yellowochre-background-color has-background\"><strong>Turgor pressure<\/strong> keeps cells looking normal. This is when the cell has just the right amount of water in it. Water will move to the area with the highest solute. Having too much solute outside the cell means all the water leaves it and it becomes <strong>hypertonic<\/strong>. Having too much solute in the cell means its becomes <strong>hypotonic<\/strong>. Neither is good long-term we want to be perfect equal, and <strong>isotonic<\/strong>!
