Question

Food storage______ of embryos is in the endosperm while food storage for_______ embryos is in the cotyledons.

1..dicot
monocot

2..monocot
dicot

Answer 1

The correct answer would be option 2. monocot, dicot

Explanation:

Monocot or monocotyledon plants are the flowering plants that have seeds with only one cotyledon or embryonic leaf while dicot plants having two cotyledon in their seed or two embryonic leaves.

The food for the embryo is stored separately in tissue called the endosperm in monocot embryos.

The cotyledons store the food that the embryo will use to grow until it gets its first true leaves in dicot seeds.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
