### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw the Embryo Sac**: Begin by sketching the structure of the embryo sac, which is typically a seven-celled structure found within the ovule of flowering plants. The embryo sac consists of one egg cell, two synergids, three antipodal cells, and two polar nuclei. 2. **Label the Parts**: - **Synergids**: These are located at the micropylar end of the embryo sac and are responsible for guiding the entry of the pollen tube. They secrete chemicals that attract the pollen tube. - **Polar Nuclei**: Found in the center of the embryo sac, these two nuclei fuse with a male gamete to form the triploid endosperm. This endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo. - **Egg Cell**: This is the female gamete located near the synergids. It fuses with the male gamete (from the pollen) to form the zygote. ...
