NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The endosperm contains the nutrients stored in it. It provides nutrients to the seed in the form of starch, carbohydrates and proteins to support the embryo during germination.

Detailed explanation-2: -The outer covering of a seed is called seed coat. The seed coat protects the baby plant residing inside the seed. The swollen part of the seed called cotyledon stores food and all the other essential nutrients required for the baby plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The role of endosperm in seed development Some mature endosperm tissue stores fats (e.g. castor bean, Ricinus communis) and others (including grains, such as wheat and corn) store mainly starches. The dust-like seeds of orchids have no endosperm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endosperm is a seed storage tissue formed within the angiosperm embryo sac from a second fertilization of the central cell. Generally, endosperm cells are triploid, rich in cellular reserves, and are compactly arranged without intercellular spaces.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endosperm is the interior layer that holds carbohydrates, protein, and small amounts of some B vitamins and minerals. These components have various effects on our bodies: Bran and fiber slow the breakdown of starch into glucose-thus maintaining a steady blood sugar rather than causing sharp spikes.
