germinitatiion

Question 1

what is germination

Answer 1

the development of a plant from a seed or spore after a period of dormancy.

Question 2

what happens during germinitation

Answer 2

In the process of seed germination, water is absorbed by the embryo, which results in the rehydration and expansion of the cells. Shortly after the beginning of water uptake, or imbibition, the rate of respiration increases, and various metabolic processes, suspended or much reduced during dormancy, resume.

Question 3

What factors are needed for successful germination?

Answer 3

All seeds need water, oxygen, and proper temperature in order to germinate. Some seeds require proper light also.

Question 4

What are the three main parts of a seed?

Answer 4

The three primary parts of a seed are the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat.

Question 5

Do you need sunlight to germinate?

Answer 5

Seeds need the right temperature and moisture to germinate. Light isn’t necessary for most seeds until leaves start to show. At that point, the embryos have used up the energy stored in the seeds and need light to produce energy through photosynthesis to continue to grow.
