What else can I help you with?
What a lima bean has in it?
the radical embryo the cotyledon and the seed coat
Why does the seed coat break and the embryo emerge?
The seed coat breaks as the embryo inside grows and needs space to emerge for germination. This process allows the embryo to access light, soil, and moisture for its growth and development into a new plant.
State the difference between what happens to a corn seed coat and to a bean seed coat at germination?
The difference is that the bean seed germinates by dicots and the corn seed germinates by monocots.
What needs to happen before the plant embryo can push its way out the seed coat?
The embryo is the baby plant. It has an embryo root to push its way eventually out of the seed coat, and embryo stem, and embryo leaves which will later start food production.
What happens in the integuments after fertilization?
After fertilization, the integuments of the ovule develop into the seed coat, providing protection to the developing embryo inside. The seed coat also helps with seed dispersal and dormancy.
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 are the three main parts to a bean?
The main parts of a bean are inside the seed coat, these are the endosperm, cotyledon, and the hypocotyl. The endosperm surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch. The cotyledon is the significant part of the embryo within the seed of the been. It becomes the first leaves of a seedling upon germination. The hypocotyl is the stem of the germinating seedling found below the cotyledon.
What function does the seed coat of a bean do?
The seed coat of a bean serves several important functions, primarily protecting the embryo and the stored nutrients within the seed from physical damage, pathogens, and desiccation. It acts as a barrier against environmental factors, ensuring that the seed remains viable until conditions are suitable for germination. Additionally, the seed coat can influence the seed's water absorption and germination timing, as it can be permeable or impermeable to moisture.
What portion of a bean seed would contain the greatest percentage of starch?
The portion of a bean seed that contains the greatest percentage of starch is the endosperm. The endosperm serves as a nutrient reservoir, primarily storing carbohydrates in the form of starch, which provides energy for the developing plant embryo. In contrast, the seed coat and embryo contain less starch and are more involved in protection and growth, respectively.
What Structure holds seeds?
a seed coat, storage tissue, and a dormant embryo. the seed coat protects the seed from drying out, endosperm is the temporary food supply and the cotyledon is the embryo.
What has a protective coat around a plant embryo?
An embryo inside the seed coat may contain two cotyledones, a radicle and a plumule etc., if this seed belongs to dicot; if it is a monocot seed, the embryo will have a scutellum, an epiblast, a coleoptyl, a coleorhiza and plenty of endosperm.
What is the name of a tiny new plant inside seed?
because i don't no ignore that person, it is called a cotyledon :]
