Question

To make sprouts at home, we soak the seeds overnight and then drain off the excess water. Why do we drain off the excess water

Answer 1

Because at time the concentration inside the seed is equal to concentration outside . so there is isotonic solution .

so there is no take to keep seed in water because seed is already swell up thats why we remove extra water

Answer 2

Answer:

Draining the excess water is essential to make sprouts. So we drain off the excess water because at a particular time, the surroundings of the seeds becomes isotonic. We can say that the osmotic concentration of both inside and outside the seeds becomes equal. This results in swelling up of the seeds. This indicates that there is no further required to place the seeds in water.

This is the reason why excess of water are drained off.
