Answer 2

Boiled seed failed to sprout because - Boiling damages certain enzymes.

Explanation:

• As we know sprouting is a natural process by which seeds or spores germinate and put out shoots, and already established plants which produce new leaves or buds or other newly developing parts experience further growth.

• The boiled seeds do not sprout, this is because boiling denatures or damages certain enzymes or proteins which are essential for germination.

• Therefore, boiling can kill the seeds. Seeds require moisture and also air for sprouting.

• When the seeds are boiled moisture content will be lost and enzymes or proteins are being killed.

• Boiling the seeds destroys the cell organelles which are required for germination. Therefore, they fail to grow.

• Hence, boiling kills all the living properties of seeds, so only living seed can be germinated and converted to sprouts.
