In flowering plants, I am formed as the result of double fertilization. The cotyledons digest and absorb me. Who am I ?
Answers
Answer:endosperm
Explanation:
It is resulted from second fertilization of Male gamete with central nuclei (2)
And after fertilization, endosperm is used as food for growing plant from seed
Endosperm is formed as the result of double fertilization.
The Cotyledons digest and absorb the food from the endosperm.
• Endosperm is an ovule maturing into seed.
• Double fertilization means two sperm are involved in the fertilization process.
• Double fertilization developed in some flowering plants, for example, angiosperms.
• When a plant grows it needs food until it can make its own food.
• So the cotyledons are the food suppliers. When leaves formation starts then cotyledons are disappeared.
• The cotyledons are the part of the embryo present in the plant seeds.
