In my opinion seeds do not need CO2 to germinate. All they need is water, oxygen, and the right temperature.
That is generally correct. Remember that most seeds carry some stored food with them, so they can grow for a while without making new food. Carbon dioxide is only useful for plants when they have enough light to turn the carbon dioxide into food and if they have enough food to make it possible for them to germinate already, they don't yet need carbon dioxide. Later on when they have made some green leaves or other parts that can use the carbon dioxide to supply what they need for growing, then they can use the carbon dioxide; in fact, without the carbon dioxide and light a plant would stop growing and it would die; it would starve to death. Some plants have big seeds with huge food stores so that they can germinate fast and grow quite big before they need the carbon dioxide and light. That is the sort of seed one finds in many kinds of forest trees, such as oak trees and avocado Pears. Most kinds of grass or dandelions grow out in the open, so they have little seeds because they don't have to grow long before they will be enough light for them to use the carbon dioxide.

∙ 13y agoCarbon dioxide. They give off oxygen
They need both. Plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, using energy they receive from light. This process is called photosynthesis and produces oxygen as a waste product.
However plants also use oxygen to break apart glucose into carbon dioxide and water. This process, respiration, achieves the exact opposite of photosynthesis, so why do plants do it?
They do it exactly because it is the opposite to photosynthesis. Just like photosynthesis only works if energy is received from light (a form of energy) respiration will always give off energy.
Plants cannot utilise the energy in sunlight directly, they use photosynthesis to store the energy in a form they can either store or use. That form is the bonds between atoms of a glucose molecule. Plants break these bond by respiring, which gives off the energy in a much more controlled way.

∙ 14y agooxygen is necessary for living beings to carry necessary metabolic activity so as seeds need to germinate

∙ 12y agono, they will only start producing oxgen when they start to photosynthesis and that only happens in green plant tissue

What is the affect of temperature on the rate of cell respiration in peas?
this should help:Respiration slowed down when the temperature was reduced, and respiration increased when the temperature increased. The germinating pea seeds consumed the most oxygen. The vials containing the dry seeds and glass beads had the same result. When the germinating seed is cooled down however, the rate of oxygen consumption is reduced drastically because all of the cellular processes are slowed down from the cooler surroundings. The germinating seeds consumed almost no oxygen throughout the experiment in the 10-degree C water bath. In the room temperature water bath, the glass beads, and the dry pea seeds and glass beads consumed the least amount of oxygen (see chart 1). Which means that the germinating seeds would slow down their respiration rates because of the colder temperature. They consumed almost three times as much oxygen as the glass beads alone, and the glass beads and dry pea seeds.
Why distilled water is provided to germinating seed?
if seeds are grown in distilled water then it increases rate of osmosis.
Why water necessary for seed germination?
A seed soil needs to be watered the first time its in the soil because, it needs to get use to the habitat in order to produce a well growing plant.The seed coat needs moisture to soften it to allow germination.
What observations can be seen when a seed is germinating?
the seed will start to grow with the right amount of elements eg:light,water,soil ect all the basic things needed for the seeds to grow.
How much oxygen does it take to produce water vapor?
The percentage of oxygen in water, vapors or ice is the same.

What is needed in making food of plants but not by germinating seeds?
I think water, air, sunlight, soil ! :P
Why pumpkin seeds are not germinating?
Seeds need water, sunlight, and good soil to grow. Most likely the seeds are lacking one of those necessaties.
Are lima beans living or non living?
Lima beens are living things. They contain an embryo that is capable of germinating to produce a new plant under optimum temperature, humidity and availability of water.

A seed soil needs to be watered the first time its in the soil because, it needs to get use to the habitat in order to produce a well growing plant.The seed coat needs moisture to soften it to allow germination.
During respiration oxygen com bust with what to produce water?
when we respire, glucose is burnt by oxygen...one by product is water. SO OXYGEN COMBUSTS WITH GLUCOSE TO PRODUCE WATER!
Why do pea seeds germinate under running water but soon die under still water?
Germination dry pea seeds if they are soaked into water for few 24 hours are taken out and excess water is removed & that the seeds are kept covered with a wet cloth and wait for 2 to 3 days. The peas start germinating in this way but If the seeds are kept continuously under water the seeds will fail to respire and die. I hope that i have answered your question :-)
What is the process during which water is used to produce sugar and oxygen?
Magic, perhaps?Water cannot be used to produce sugar and oxygen.
Will iron react with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.
How do you grow a tree from seeds?
With oxygen, soil, water, and sunlight.
What is oxygen in a chemical change that produces water?
The reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produce water.
