o megaspore mother cell
o sporophyte
o gametophyte

need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

In plant reproduction, the cells in the embryo - sac receive nutrition from the gametophyte. The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to form megaspores which develop into the female gametophyte. The sporophyte is the diploid, asexual - phase in the plant life cycle and is not the direct source of nutrition for embryo - sac cells. The gametophyte is the haploid, sexual - phase that provides nutrients to the developing embryo sac.

Answer:

gametophyte
