A. Pea- exalbuminous seed.
B. Castor-  albuminous seed
C. Bean- exalbuminous seed.
D. Gram- exalbuminous seed
So, the correct answer is 'Castor'.

In exalbuminous seed, the food is generally stored in

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Endosperm initially but hypocotyl later on.

  2. Cotyledons

  3. Endosperm from the beginning

  4. Testa

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

1. Seed store reserve food for the use of embryo at the time of germination in their cotyledons or in endosperm.

2. The seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds( e.g., Gram, Pea).
3. The seeds, which store food materials in endosperm are called  endospermic or albuminous seeds( e.g., Castor, Maize).
4. Testa- The outer coat of seed is called testa.
So, the correct answer is 'Cotyledons'.

In exalbuminous seeds, there is :

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Non formation of endosperm

  2. Abundant formation of endosperm

  3. Abundant protein

  4. Consumption of endosperm during development of speed

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Seed store reserve food for the use of embryo at the time of germination in their cotyledons or in endosperm.

The seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds( e.g., Gram, Pea).
The seeds, which store food materials in endosperm are called  endospermic or albuminous seeds( e.g., Castor, Maize).
So, the correct answer is 'Consumption of endosperm during development of embryo'.

Which is an albuminous seed?

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Gram

  2. Castor

  3. Maize

  4. Both B and C

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The seed which store food materials in endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seed.

A. Gram - Non albuminous seed.
B. Castor- Albuminous seed.
C. Maize- Albuminous seed.
So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.

Which one is monocot albuminous seed?

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Maize

  2. Wheat

  3. Rice

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds.(e.g., Gram, Pea, Bean, Almond, Groundnut).

Seeds, which store food materials in their endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. (e.g., Castor, Maize, Wheat, Barley, Grasses).

Monocot seed- one cotyledon.

Dicot seed- Two cotyledons.

A. Maize- Monocot albuminous seed.

B. Wheat- Monocot albuminous seed.

C. Rice- Monocot albuminous seed.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Aleurone layer takes part in

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Protein of delicate embryo

  2. Enzyme synthesis

  3. Transfer of food to cotyledons

  4. Transfer of food from cotyledons to embryo tips

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In monocotyledonous endospermic seed, endosperm is surrounded by a special one- cell thick layer, called aleurone layer. Its main function is to nourish the embryo enclosed in the seed.It is protein rich coat formed by the outermost layer of endospermic cells. It actively secretes few enzymes which help in the process of seed germination.
So, the correct answer is 'Enzyme Synthesis'.

Non-albuminous seeds occur in

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Maize

  2. Wheat

  3. Rice

  4. Vallisneria

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds.(e.g., gram, pea, bean, almond, groundnut, mustard, sunflower).

Seeds, which store food materials in their endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. (e.g., castor, maize, wheat, barley, grasses, rice).

Vallisneria is a genus of freshwater aquatic plant, commonly called eelgrass, tape grass or vallis.  It has a non albuminous seed.

So, the correct answer is 'Vallisneria'.

Seed of castor is

botany pollination, fertilization and development of endosperm and embryo fruits and seeds fruit and its type fertilization events

  1. Non-endospermic exalbuminous

  2. Endospermic albuminous

  3. Endospermic exalbuminous

  4. Non-endospermic albuminous

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds.(e.g., Gram, Pea, Bean, Almond, Groundnut).

Seeds, which store food materials in their endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. (e.g., Castor, Maize, Wheat, Barley, Grasses).

So, the correct answer is 'Endospermic albuminous'.

  2. a - d, b - e, c- e

  3. a - e, b - e, c - d

  4. a - e, b - d, c - e

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds.(e.g., Gram, Pea, Bean, Almond, Groundnut).

Seeds, which store food materials in their endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. (e.g., Castor, Maize, Wheat, Barley, Grasses).

(a) Maize- endospermic

(b) Mustard- Non- endospermic

(c) Pea- Non endospermic.

So, the correct answer is'a-d, b-e, c-e'.
