Answer 1

Answer:

Germination is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed; it results in the formation of the seedling. It is also the process of reactivation of metabolic machinery of the seed resulting in the emergence of radicle and plumule.

1) Imbibition: water fills the seed. 2) The water activates enzymes that begin the plant's growth. 3) The seed grows a root to access water underground. 4) The seed grows shoots that grow towards the sun. 5) The shoots grow leaves and begin photmorphogenesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure.

Such five changes or steps occurring during seed germination are:

1) Imbibition

2) Respiration

3) Effect of light on seed germination

4) Mobilization of reserves during seed germination and role of growth regulators and

5) Development of Embryo Axis into seedling
