In albuminous seeds, the food is stored in the:

NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Seed structure and function
 **Related Topics**: Plant anatomy, seed germination, types of seeds
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant reproductive structures.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question refers to albuminous seeds.
  We need to identify the location of food storage in such seeds.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Understand the difference between albuminous and non-albuminous seeds.
  Reasoning: Albuminous seeds retain a significant portion of the endosperm, a tissue rich in nutrients, after fertilization.  Non-albuminous seeds, conversely, transfer the endosperm's nutrients to the cotyledons during development.
 2. Identify the food storage structure in albuminous seeds.
  Working: Since the endosperm is retained in albuminous seeds, it serves as the primary food storage tissue.
 3. Select the correct option.
  Result: The correct option is 'Endosperm'.
  Verification: The definition of an albuminous seed directly supports this answer.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Cotyledons are the embryonic leaves in a seed; they store food in non-albuminous seeds.
B ✓: Endosperm is the nutritive tissue in seeds; it's the primary food storage location in albuminous seeds.
C :x: Radicle is the embryonic root; it doesn't store food.
D :x: Plumule is the embryonic shoot; it doesn't primarily store food.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing albuminous and non-albuminous seeds: Remember that albuminous seeds have a prominent endosperm, while non-albuminous seeds have food stored in the cotyledons.
  2.Misidentifying the functions of the different seed parts: Each part (cotyledon, endosperm, radicle, plumule) has a specific role in seed development and germination.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Use mnemonics or diagrams to remember the parts of a seed and their functions.
  2.Relate the terms 'albuminous' and 'endosperm' – the presence of 'albumen' (endosperm) is characteristic of albuminous seeds.
