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.
Where is stored food found in a dicot seed?
the seed coat
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.
What is the starchy food that feeds a developing seed?
The starchy food that helps the seed develop is called the endosperm
Are melon seeds monocotyledons?
monocot seed is a type of seed having a single cotyledon so called monocot.It contains a endosperm which contains food for the germination of seed.It is an albuminus seed(which have a endosperm until it matures). e.g seed of maize or rice etc.
Name an example of a seed that has liquid endosperm?
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.
What is the difference between a pea seed and a corn seed?
The "endosperm" of the bean seed is made of two leaf-shaped halves called cotyledons. Technically, it's not called an endosperm. However, the corn seed contains one endosperm.
What are three of a seed?
Seed coat, embryo and endosperm
What the composition of a seed?
The Seed coat, endosperm and embryo.
Is endosperm usually more abundant in the mature seed of a dicot or of a monocot?
The endosperm is more abundant in the mature seed of a monocot.
The stored food in a seed?
endosperm :) (well is its a seed anyways)

Why do you not use the term maize fruit and maize seed?
The maize grain is actually a fruit in which the fruit wall and the seed coat are fused together to form a protective layer. Such a fruit is termed as grain or seed .therefore, we call it as maize seed instead of maize fruit
Is there is endosperm present in gymnosperm?
No, triploid endosperm is in angiosperms only. Gymnosperm means "Naked Seed."
