Vedclass · Answer

(A) The aleurone layer is a specialized peripheral layer of cells that surrounds the starchy endosperm in the seeds of monocots,such as maize,wheat,and barley.
It is a part of the endosperm and is rich in proteins and enzymes.
During seed germination,the aleurone layer secretes enzymes like amylase that break down the stored starch in the endosperm into simple sugars to provide energy for the developing embryo.
