Find an ovule. Identify the funiculus, the chalaza, the integuments, the micropyle, and the developing female gametophyte. The latter is commonly referred to as the embryo sac in angiosperms. If your slide has several embryo sacs, they are likely to be at variable stages of development. (See text Figure 19-18b,c, page 469.) Like the female gametophyte in pine, the embryo sac develops from a megaspore. 5. Label the ovary wall, ovule, integuments, and developing embryo sac in Figures 3. and 4. below. Figure 3.
