Question

Neha ate the seed of a fruit by mistake. Her brother said it will grow into a tree inside her. Do you think this is true? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement is a false statement .

Explanation:

It is a false statement because :

• A seed needs air, moisture and required amount of clay, where it can grow.

• So, whenever a dry seed comes un contact with the moist soil around it, the seed will then begin to take the water upwards through the coat of the seed which is known as seed coat.

• As it takes up more water, it then expands and thus the seed coat cracks and opens up.

• Thus, the embryo present inside the seed is basically made of up small shoot and also contains a small root.

hence, the root is the first thing which is allowed to emerge from the seed.

But in case of a human stomach,

• A human stomach contains Hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is acidic in nature and hence a living particle does not survive in acids and also lack of sunlight in the stomach. Therefore, seed will not grow inside a human stomach.
