Question 13

seed dispersal by humans

Answer 13

Anthropochory

Question 14

extends above the cotyledon(s), is composed of the shoot apex and leaf primordia;

Answer 14

epicotyl

Question 15

which is the transition zone between the shoot and root; and the radicle

Answer 15

hypocotyl

Question 16

is a tiny plant that has a root, a stem, and one or more leaves

Answer 16

embryo

Question 17

is the nutritive tissue of the seed, often a combination of starch, oil, and protein.

Answer 17

endosperm

Question 18

an embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one or more of which are the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed.

Answer 18

cotyledon

Question 19

outer covering of a seed
help protect the embryo from injury and also from drying out

Answer 19

seed coat

Question 20

the shoot or bud of a plant embryo or seedling that is located between the cotyledons and grows into the stem and leaves.

Answer 20

plumule

Question 21

tissue that surrounds and nourishes the embryo in the seeds of angiosperms (flowering plants). In some seeds the endosperm is completely absorbed at maturity (dicots)

Answer 21

endosperm

Question 22

a protective layer of tissue that surrounds the radicle (the embryonic primary root) in monocotyledon seeds

Answer 22

coleorhiza

Question 23

pointed protective sheath covering the emerging shoot in monocotyledons such as grasses in which few leaf primordia and shoot apex of monocot embryo remain enclosed.

Answer 23

Coleoptile

Question 24

scar on seed that controls the content of water in seeds during the last phase of the formation of seeds

only in dicots

Answer 24

hilum

Question 25

helps to absorb water at the time of germination of the seed. It is where the root emerges at the time of germination of the seed.

only in dicots

Answer 25

micropyle

dicot Germination other term

Answer 26

Epigeal Germination

Question 27

monocot Germination other term

Answer 27

Hypogeal Germination
