Endosperm is the tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants around the time that the egg (seed) is fertilized. It surrounds the seed embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, and can also contain oils and protein. This makes endosperm an important source of nutrition in human diet. For example, wheat endosperm is ground into flour for bread.

The nutritive tissue within seeds of flowering plants, surrounding and absorbed by the embryo.
The endosperm nourishes the developing embryo in the seed.
It doesn't mean anything an endosperm is simply the supply of stored food in the seeds of angiosperms.
nutrients to the embrio
i)A zygote if formed due to the fusion of two gametes while endosperm is not from the fusion of two gametes. ii)A zygote is of 2n condition while endosperm is of 3n condition iii)A zygote later develops to a plant while endosperm provides nourisment to it. iv)After fertilization it is a fact endosperm develops first then zygote so that the zygote gets the nourishment sufficiently.
The aleurone layer is the outermost layer of the endosperm. Therefore it is also triploid and same as the ploidy of endosperm.
Testa, Tegmen, Embryo (Plumule and Radicle) , Endosperm, coleoptile, etc
it stores food for the young plant and also protect itAnswer:It's a principle part of the embryo in the seed of a plant. Seeds with two are called dicotyledons, seeds with only one are called monocotyledons.
the endosperm in monocot plants and endosperm and cotyledons in dicot plants.
An example of a seed that has liquid endosperm would be a coconut. While it does contain cellular endosperm, the coconut milk would be considered liquid endosperm.
endosperm haustoria is reported in many families for eg. Cucurbitaceae.it is a vermiform appendage present at the chalazal end of the endosperm. it may be free nuclear or cellular.
No, triploid endosperm is in angiosperms only. Gymnosperm means "Naked Seed."
White flour is made only with the endosperm portion of the wheat kernel. Farina is also made from the endosperm, but it is ground to produce a granular product.
The iodine test will detect the presence of starch in the endosperm.
The part of the grain that remains after being refined is the endosperm.

The endosperm is more abundant in the mature seed of a monocot.
No, it does not
