Chapter 25, Problem 7TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants belong to kingdom plantae and are multicellular and autotrophic eukaryotes. They can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis, as they contain chloroplast, which captures light energy to make glucose. Plants include gymnosperms, flowering plants, conifers, hornworts, mosses, green algae, liverworts, and mosses.

two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
one seed-leaf in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
one seed-leaf in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6
two seed-leaves in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6

Seeds of a fruit is the embryo in the Plant Kingdom. Sexual reproduction is the production of embryo while asexual reproduction entails to skip the development of embryo in the process. Zygote is the product of sexual reproduction that undergo months of development before the mother give birth to a young and alive offspring like humans. Embryonic development in both plant and animal means to undergo different stages that will give birth to a young and living organism.arrow_forward
