Question

After soaking the seeds of pea in water for ३-४ hours does this seed is divided into २ equal parts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Imbibition is the process of adsorption of water by a substance. When pea seeds and wheat seeds are put in water, pea seeds will imbibe more water. Pea seed has high amount of protein present in it. Wheat seeds have high amount starch in it. The proteins imbibe more water as compared to the carbohydrates. Hence, proteinaceous pea seeds will imbibe more water than those of wheat seeds and swell up.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Pea seeds.'
