Why will cotyledons not be needed as the plant grows?
Cotyledons are the seed leaves that provide nutrients for the seedling until it can photosynthesize on its own. Once the plant develops true leaves, it can produce its own food through photosynthesis and no longer relies on the cotyledons for nutrients. As the plant grows and matures, it becomes self-sufficient and cotyledons naturally senesce and fall off.
Can another food source take the place of the cotyledons?
Yes, another food source can provide nutrients for a developing plant if the cotyledons are removed or insufficient. For example, the endosperm or perisperm can serve as alternative food sources for the plant embryo to utilize during germination and early growth stages.
What are the young leaves of a plant embryo called?
The young leaves of a plant embryo are called cotyledons. They are the first leaves to appear from the seed during germination and provide nutrients for the developing plant until it can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
What part inside a seed contains embryo food?
the cotyledons
What is the function hypocotyl?
The hypocotyl is the lower part of the embryonic stem of a plant. Its primary functions include supporting the cotyledons (seed leaves) and transporting food and water between the roots and the cotyledons. Additionally, the hypocotyl aids in the emergence of the plant from the soil during germination.
What is the name for a plant that no longer depends on cytledons for nourishment?
The term for a plant that no longer depends on cotyledons for nourishment is "autotrophic." This means that the plant is able to produce its own food through photosynthesis and no longer relies on the stored nutrients in its cotyledons.

Why do cotyledons become smaller as the plant grows?
The plant uses up the nutrients stored in the cotyledons, they become smaller and eventually drop off once the plant is able to produce food for its self
What is a colyledon?
I have no idea what a colyledon might be. A cotyledon is a modified leaf containing the food for a seed. It provides the food for the new plant. Some cotyledons finish their task of providing the new plant with food and turn into leaves. Other cotyledons do not turn into leaves. Some cotyledons go underground and store food for the plant.
What will happen to the cotelydons which contain food of thenew palnt as it grows?
As the new plant grows and produces new leaves, the cotyledons will eventually wither and drop off the stem. With some plants, the cotyledons remain underground and do not emerge as "seed leaves" but they will wither and detach from the stem nevertheless.
What part of the seed provides food for the embryo?
Endosperm and cotyledons are the part of seed that provides food .
What are the young leaves of a plant embryo called?
The young leaves of a plant embryo are called cotyledons. They are the first leaves to appear from the seed during germination and provide nutrients for the developing plant until it can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
What part inside a seed contains embryo food?
the cotyledons
Does a seed need to make food?
All a seed needs to make or obtain its own food is sun and water .Then the food is stored in the cotyledons until the plant needs it.
Are peanuts flowers?
The actual peanuts that we consume are the cotyledons or store food for the growing embyo of the new plant. the embryo derive its food from the cotyledon before the actual roots are emerged and become a plant.
