Question

Difference between perisperm and endosperm giving one example of each

Answer 1

perisperm is an persistent nucellus in seed
eg -coffee.
endoperm is stored food that surrounds the embryo
eg-corns

Answer 2

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERISPERM AND THE ENDOSPERM

• The endorsperm is a small tissue produced by the flowering plants after fertilization
• the endorsperm provides food to the embryo in the form of starch, oils and proteins
• the endosperm also surrounds the embryo
• the perisperm on the other side is a layer of  nutritive tissue of a seed
• perisperm is derived from the nucellus and is deposited externally to the embryo sac
• the perisperm is for example found in coffee. although some seeds contain both the endosperm and the perisperm for example in the beets
• although the endosperm is similar to the perisperm, there is a difference that the perisperm is forms from the nucellus and has a diploid and not triploid
