Which of the following is not an example of albuminous seeds?

Pea

The answer is pea.

Albuminous seeds are seeds that have a large amount of endosperm, which is a tissue that stores food for the developing embryo. Examples of albuminous seeds include wheat, maize, and castor. Pea seeds, on the other hand, are exalbuminous seeds, which means that they have very little endosperm.

The endosperm in albuminous seeds is a source of nutrients for the developing embryo. It is made up of starch, proteins, and oils. The endosperm is also a source of energy for the germinating seed.

Exalbuminous seeds do not have a large amount of endosperm. The embryo in these seeds uses the food reserves in the cotyledons for nourishment. The cotyledons are the seed leaves, and they are the first leaves to emerge from the seed.
