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
What are three parts of a seed?
Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous seeds have the following basic structures in common:The Seed coat or testa, protects the embryo against mechanical and chemical damage as well as dessication.The Cotyledon (or cotyledons), provides the food supply for the germinating embryo. The cotyledon(s) eventually develop into the primary leaves on germination of the seed.And the Embryo (or zygote), is the the diploid plant waiting to germinate.
How does the embryo get food for germination?
The seed embryo is nourished by stored starch in the plant.
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)

The embryo in a seed gets food from the?
The embryo in the seed get food from endosperm and perisperm.
What are three of a seed?
Seed coat, embryo and endosperm
What the composition of a seed?
The Seed coat, endosperm and embryo.
What are three main parts of a seed?
Three main parts of a seed are the endosperm, the embryo, and the seed coat.
What is the function of the endosperm?
to provide nourishment to the developing embryo in a seed
3 parts of a seed?
seedcoat,embryo,endosperm
What two important things are inside a seed?
