Скачать или смотреть Fruits Lab: Seeds

In this video, you’ll examine the structure of seeds by comparing a garden bean and a corn kernel. These two seeds represent the major seed types found in flowering plants—eudicots and monocots. Through guided observations, you’ll identify external seed structures and explore the internal organization of the embryo and nutrient storage tissues.

In this activity, you will:
✅ Identify external seed structures such as the seed coat, hilum, and micropyle
✅ Locate embryo structures including the plumule, hypocotyl, radicle, and cotyledons
✅ Compare nutrient storage in eudicot and monocot seeds
✅ Examine how seed structure supports early plant development

Key takeaway: Seed structure reflects evolutionary differences between monocots and eudicots and plays a critical role in protecting and nourishing the developing plant embryo.
