Differentiate between albuminous and exalbuminous seeds

1.	Differentiate between albuminous and exalbuminous seeds
Answer» In albuminous seeds, the endosperm tissue persists in the mature seed and is used up at the time of germination. In these seeds, the embryo is minute, whereas in exalbuminous seeds the endosperm is used up during embryo development and the mature seed does not contain endosperm. In such seeds, the embryo is bulky and food is stored in cotyledons of the seed.
