Question

Potatoes are cut into many parts, making sure that each part has at least one eye (bud). Each piece of potato will usually grow into a new potato plant. Will a new potato plant grow, if planted only with the eye?
a. Yes, a full new potato plant can grow from it.
b. Yes, but the new plant will take a slightly longer time to germinate.
c. No, a new potato plant will not grow because the food needed for germination comes from the potato piece.
d. NO,because the leaves emerge only from the potato piece

Answer 1

The correct option is c) No, a new potato plant will not grow because the food needed for germination comes from the potato piece.

Explanation:

• It is of no doubt that a new plant can grow from the eye bud.

• But if a eye bud alone is placed in soil, then it will not grow as it will not have a basic supply of nutrients.

• This supply of nutrients is provided to the eye bud by the piece of potato along with the eye bud.

• Hence, if an aye bud is placed alone, probably no plant will be formed from it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is c) No, a new potato plant will not grow because the food needed for germination comes from the potato piece.

Explanation:

It is of no doubt that a new plant can grow from the eye bud.

But if a eye bud alone is placed in soil, then it will not grow as it will not have a basic supply of nutrients.

This supply of nutrients is provided to the eye bud by the piece of potato along with the eye bud.

Hence, if an aye bud is placed alone, probably no plant will be formed from it.
