Bean Seed Anatomy and Functions Quiz

What is the main function of the seed coat in a bean seed?

• Protects the seed

• Stores food

• Develops into the root

• Develops into the stem

Which part of the bean seed develops into the first leaves?

• Cotyledon

• Epicotyl

• Hypocotyl

• Radicle

What is the role of the cotyledon in a bean seed?

• Develops into the root

• Develops into the stem

• Stored food

• Protects the seed

If a bean seed did not have a radicle, what would it not be able to develop?

• Leaves

• Stem

• Root

• Seed coat

Explain how the different parts of the embryo (epicotyl, hypocotyl, and radicle) work together to help a bean seed grow into a plant.

• The epicotyl becomes the leaves, the hypocotyl becomes the stem, and the radicle becomes the root, allowing the plant to grow above and below the ground.

• The epicotyl stores food, the hypocotyl protects the seed, and the radicle becomes the seed coat.

• The epicotyl becomes the root, the hypocotyl becomes the leaves, and the radicle becomes the stem.

• The epicotyl protects the seed, the hypocotyl stores food, and the radicle becomes the leaves.

What part of the bean seed develops into the first leaves?

• Embryo

• Stored food

• Seed coat

• Root

Which part of the bean seed is responsible for protecting the seed?

• Embryo

• Seed coat

• Stored food

• Root

What is the main function of the stored food in a bean seed?

• To protect the seed

• To help the seed float

• To provide energy for the growing embryo

• To attract animals

If a bean seed did not have stored food, what might happen to the embryo during germination?

• The embryo would grow faster

• The embryo might not have enough energy to grow

• The seed coat would become thicker

• The seed would develop more leaves

How does the structure of a bean seed help it survive until it can start growing into a plant?

• The seed coat protects it, and the stored food provides energy for the embryo

• The root absorbs sunlight

• The leaves make food for the seed

• The stem stores water
