Answer:
The highest rate of respiration is known as germinating seed
Explanation:
The germinating seed needs maximum energy for its growth and differentiation. The germination of seeds needs plenty of water. As soon as water enters the seed, there is activation of the hydrolytic enzymes.
Due to hydrolysis, there is the transportation of nutrients. These nutrients are metabolised. Since, it is aerobic respiration, metabolism requires oxygen in large amounts. Hence they have a maximum rate of respiration.
