Question

2. Explain the procedure to observe germination of seeds (seeds to sprouts).

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Germination is the process of seeds developing into new plants. First, environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined by how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature. When water is plentiful, the seed fills with water in a process called imbibition. The water activates special proteins, called enzymes, that begin the process of seed growth. First the seed grows a root to access water underground. Next, the shoots, or growth above ground, begin to appear. The seed sends a shoot towards the surface, where it will grow leaves to harvest energy from the sun.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Seed Germination Process

Step 1: Imbibition: water fills the seed.

Step 2: The water activates enzymes that begin the plant's growth.

Step 3: The seed grows a root to access water underground.

Step 4: The seed grows shoots that grow towards the sun.

Step 5: The shoots grow leaves and begin photmorphogenesis.
