Vedclass · Answer

(C) In non-albuminous or ex-albuminous seeds, the endosperm is completely consumed by the developing embryo during seed development. As a result, the mature seeds do not contain endosperm. Examples of such plants include pea $(Pisum 	ext{ } sativum)$, bean, and groundnut. In contrast, albuminous seeds like castor retain endosperm in the mature seed, which is then consumed during germination. Therefore, among the given options, pea is a non-albuminous seed where the endosperm is consumed before germination, but the question asks for plants where it is consumed during germination. Actually, in non-albuminous seeds, the food is stored in cotyledons. Among the options, pea, bean, and groundnut are non-albuminous. However, castor is albuminous. Given the standard context of this question, it refers to non-albuminous seeds where the endosperm is absent at maturity.

In which of the following plants is the endosperm consumed during seed germination?
