what are Angiosperms
they are flowering plants that can be divided into two groups such as monocots and dicots
what are monocots and dicots
Monocots : produce seeds in which the embryo has only one cotyledon dictos: produce seeds in which the embryo has 2 cotyledons
Define cotyledon
the embryonic part of the seed which upon germentation forms the first seed leaf
how much space does the embryo make up of the seed
a small portion
how does dicots store food for developing embryo
in dicot seeds, the bulk of seed is taken up by the two cotyledons which stores food for developing embryo
What happens to bulk of seed in monocots
bulk of seeds in monocots is taken up by a tissue that stores food for the developing embryo called the endosperm
factors that affect germination
Temperature Moisture content type of soil ph air access nutrient levels aeratoin of soil (bugs and worms around)
