A: Pines are conifers, and are neither monocots nor dicots. Only flowering plants are considered to be members of these two classes. This question is similar to asking whether a chicken is a monocot or a dicot; it is neither.t is not clear whether it is a single lobed cotyledon, or two which have been fused. The water lilies also have a vascular arrangement in their stem similar to that of monocots. There are also monocots which posses characters more typical of dicots.
Foods that can help to lower cholesterol those foods which are low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and low in carbohydrates. These include oats, fish and omega-3 fatty acids such as trout and salmon. Walnuts, almonds and other nuts can reduce cholesterol.
Soluble fibers, such as those in psyllium husk (which contains both soluble and insoluble fiber), guar gum, flaxseed, and oat bran, can help lower cholesterol when added to a low saturated fat, low cholesterol diet.nsoluble fiber, on the other hand, can be found in the peels of fruit, such as apples, blueberries, and grapes. It acts as a natural laxative that speeds the passage of foods through the stomach. It also gives stool its bulk and helps it move quickly through the gastrointestinal tract.
