Does the amount of light a seed is exposed to affect seed germination?

yes it does. the less light the seed has will either make the seed take longer to germinate or not germinate at all. Answer it really depends on the type of seed. some seeds like watermelon and tomato coulnd care less about how much light they get while others like lettuce would not germinate in the dark at all. but as a rule of thumb, most seeds prefer to germinate in the dark.

∙ 12y agoLight doesn't really affect seed germination because during seed germination the seed mostly needs water so the seed can break out of the seed coat and also the water triggers metabolic changes in the embryo which enables the seed to grow.

Does sprite affect the germination of radish seeds?
No, Sprite does not affect the germination of radish seeds. Germination is primarily influenced by factors such as water, light, temperature, and seed quality. Sprite, a carbonated beverage, does not have any properties that would directly impact seed germination.
Does red light promotes fern spore germination?
Yes, red light promotes fern spore germination as well as seed germination in lettuce and leaf expansion in dicots.
In a controlled experiment the one condition that is changed such as the amount of light a seed gets is the and condition that is being observed usch as germination is the?
for plato answer is D
What provides for the germination seed?
sun light
Does the amount of light affect the chlorphyll concentration in a plant?
no. This is because light only affect the rate of photosynthesis and not the chlorophyll concentration in the leaf
Does light affect germination rate?
Yes, light does affect germination rate. Because light can extend for a short distance into the soil, seeds that obtain light often germinate faster than those that do not.
How does the wavelength of the light affect seed germination of peas?
It is mostly the light's effect upon a plant pigment called phytochrome within the seed. Light in the red wave length usually promotes germination, whereas blue light inhibits it.
The reason why light needed for bean germination?
Not sure light is needed for germination.

Does the wavelength of light a plant is exposed to affect plant?
Yes.
Does exposure to light affect the amount of vitamin C in juice?
Vitamin C in juice gets degraded when exposed to light and oxygen. When artificial or natural light falls on the juice, photo-degradation occurs that also lowers the amount the Vitamin C content in the juice.
What facts affect seed germination?
Heat, moisture, and airflow. Some seeds also need light to germinate.
Does light affect on the growth of mold?
does the amount of light affect mold growth?
Does red light promotes fern spore germination?
Yes, red light promotes fern spore germination as well as seed germination in lettuce and leaf expansion in dicots.
Plants are exposed to red blue and yellow wavelengths of light and the amount of oxygen produced during photosynthesis What can you sugest for a control group?
Plants exposed to white light?
What lens function controls the amount of light that will exit the lens and expose the sensor?
SHUTTER in Camera controls the amount and time of light that the Sensor will exposed to.
What provides energy for germination?
light
