Chapter 25, Problem 8LTB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The first stage of plant growth is the emergence of the seedling, supported by the seed's internal food stores, that is endosperm. The emergence of an embryo from a seed is called germination.

Part B: The Embryo Sac
Examine the demonstration slide of a c.s. of a lily ovary. Find an ovule. Identify the
funiculus, the chalaza, the integuments, the micropyle, and the developing female
gametophyte. The latter is commonly referred to as the embryo sac in angiosperms. If
your slide has several embryo sacs, they are likely to be at variable stages of development.
(See text Figure 19-18b,c, page 469.) Like the female gametophyte in pine, the embryo sac
develops from a megaspore.
5. Label the ovary wall, ovule, integuments, and developing embryo sac in Figures 3.
and 4. below.
