What is the embryo sac in a flower?
Endosperm
How are the embryo and the endosperm formed in a plant?
For an endosperm to be formed one sperm nucleus has to fertilize the egg. The egg is fertilized to form a zygote while the other sperm nucleus fuses with the two polar nuclei at the center of the embryo sac to form the primary endosperm cell.
What are the three parts of a seed and what is the purpose of each part?
Seed coat, micropyle, endosperm and embryo are major parts of a seed. The seed coat protects, micropyle allows water to move in, endosperm nourishes the embryo and on germination a new plant emerges from the embryo.
What do you call the seed structure that stores food for the embryo?
endosperm
Where does the endosperm come from in a plant and what is its purpose?
the endosperm is in the gymnosperm 'naked seeds' and the angiosperm flowering plants. in gymno - haploid (n) gives nutrients to the embryo the only difference with the angiosperm is that its not haploid (n) but triploid (3n)
What is the embryo sac in a flower?
Endosperm
What do you call an embryo and its endosperm?
an egg
What is an aleurone?
An aleurone is the protein content of the embryo, endosperm or perisperm of cereals.
What feeds the plant embryo?
the endosperm in monocot plants and endosperm and cotyledons in dicot plants.

What is the process of fertilization in flowering plants by which new seeds are formed?
In Angiosperms the pollen tube pierces the wall of the embryo sac and releases two male gametes. One of these male gametes fuses with the egg to form the zygote and the other to the secondary nucleus to form the endosperm. the developing embryo is nourished by the endosperm. A fully developed embryo remains in the ovule and the latter is converted in to the seed. In gymnosperms the female gametophyte nourishes the develoing embryo instead of endosperm and the embryo develops from the zygote inside the archegonium instead of embryo sac.
What plant part fom the seed?
The seed is formed in the fruit from ovule. A fertilized ovule develops the embryo and endosperm. Most of the endosperm is used up by the developing embryo in dicot seeds. In monocot seeds large amount of endosperm is retained to support the germinating embryo. When someone plants a seed in the ground an entire plant grows from it over time.

What is the function of the embryo in a flower?
endosperm and dicot
The embryo in a seed gets food from the?
The embryo in the seed get food from endosperm and perisperm.
3 parts of a seed?
seedcoat,embryo,endosperm
What are three of a seed?
Seed coat, embryo and endosperm
