2025 · Q66

NEETBiologyAnatomy of Flowering PlantsMCQ+4 / −1

In the seeds of cereals, the outer covering of endosperm separates the embryo by a protein-rich layer called:

  1. A
    Integument
  2. B
    Aleurone layer
  3. C
    Coleoptile
  4. D
    Coleorhiza
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Option B: Aleurone layer.

• The aleurone layer is a protein-rich tissue that surrounds the starchy endosperm in cereal seeds.

• It lies just beneath the seed coat and separates the endosperm from the embryo.

• In contrast:

– Integuments are the tissues surrounding the ovule.

– Coleoptile is the sheath covering the emerging shoot.

– Coleorhiza is the sheath covering the emerging root.
