The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where the aleurone layer is located. The options provided are endosperm, colipatile, cotyledon, and coliureza. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Endosperm**: The endosperm is a tissue that provides nourishment to the developing embryo in seeds. It is primarily composed of starch and proteins. - **Colipatile**: This is a protective sheath that surrounds the plumule (the shoot part of the embryo). It does not contain the aleurone layer. - **Cotyledon**: This is the first leaf or leaves that develop from the embryo of a seed. It serves as a food source for the developing plant but does not have the aleurone layer. - **Coliureza**: This term seems to be a misspelling or confusion with other terms related to plant morphology. It does not refer to a structure containing the aleurone layer. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: The aleurone layer is specifically found in the peripheral region of the endosperm. It is a one-cell thick layer that surrounds the starchy endosperm and plays a role in seed germination and nutrient mobilization. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **endosperm**. ### Final Answer: The aleurone layer occurs in the peripheral region of **endosperm**. ---
