3. What is the difference between cotyledons in dicot seeds and the endosperm in monocot seeds?

Explanation:

Monocots contain a single cotyledon in their seed and dicots contain two cotyledons. The nutrients in the endosperm of dicots is absorbed by the two cotyledons. Therefore, a tiny endosperm is found inside the dicot seed. However, the main difference between cotyledon and endosperm is in their function during seedling.

Cotyledon is the embryonic leaf of the seed, which is capable of developing into the shoot of the plant during seedling. ... Monocots contain a single cotyledon in their seed and dicots contain two cotyledons. The nutrients in the endosperm of dicots is absorbed by the two cotyledons. Monocots have only one seed leaf inside the seed coat. It is often only a thin leaf, because the endosperm to feed the new plant is not inside the seed leaf. Dicots have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant.
