  11. Parts of Flower

  12. Use the diagram on page 612 to draw a typical flower and label the accessory and reproductive parts.

  13. MONOCOT ORDICOT • Count the petals or stamen • Monocots = flower parts in multiples of 3 • Dicots = flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5

  14. Is this plant a monocot or a dicot? How do you know? 5 petals

  15. Is this plant a monocot or a dicot? How do you know? 3 petals, 3 sepals (or 6 tepals)
