Answer 1

Wet and germinating seeds

Answer 2

Answer: Before arranging the experiment to prove that carbon dioxide is evolved during the process of respiration the seeds must be germinating.

Explanation: It is because here we are showing that carbon dioxide is released during the process of respiration, which is a metabolic process that takes place at a greater rate at this stage and therefore the amount of carbon dioxide released is also more.

In case of dormant seeds, the rate of cellular respiration is quite low and hence it becomes difficult to detect the minimal amount of carbon dioxide released.
