Question

How can you prove that moong seeds are still living after a few months of germination? ​

Answer 1

Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. In addition, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the spores of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination. Thus, in a general sense, germination can be thought of as anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ.

Answer 2

$\huge\bold{{Germination}}$

Mung beans typically germinate within four to five days; however, the actual rate of germination varies according to the amount of moisture introduced during the germination stage. Watering the bean seeds every four to five hours results in faster germination.

$\huge\bold{{Post-Germination}}$

After the plant germinates, the seed splits and a soft, whitish root grows. It is during this growth stage many mung beans are harvested as bean sprouts, which are a common addition to Asian cuisine. If the bean is not harvested after its initial growth, the mung bean develops a root system, and as the plant continues its growth cycle, a green stem shoots up from the soil. This stem typically contains two leaves. As the plant continues to grow, seed pods begin to form on its branches. Each pod contains 10 to 15 seeds, while the average plant contains 30 to 40 seed pods.

$\huge\bold{{Maturation}}$

Once the plant has matured, which can take up to 60 days, the mung bean plant can reach up to 30 inches tall and contains multiple branches with the seed pods. Mature seed pods vary in color from black to yellowish brown, and actual seeds vary from yellow, black to green. While most of the seed pods change to a darker color, some seed pods remain green.
