Answers
Answer:
1. The receptacle is the axis (stem) to which the floral organs are attached.
2. Thorns protect the delicate juvenile lime lemon tree from hungry animals that want to eat away at the tender leaves and fruits.
3. Radicle is the first organ to appear when a seed germinates. In gymnosperms and dicotyledons the radicle becomes a taproot.
4. The function of pedicels is to expose flowers to the sun and wind and put them in a position so their aroma and color attracts pollinating insects more easily.
5. The seed coat certainly represents a first line of defense against adverse external factors, but it also acts as channel for transmitting environmental cues to the interior of the seed. The latter function primes the seed to adjust its metabolism in response to changes in its external environment.
