Is starch converted in seed metabolism?

Yes, in a process called "germination".


What is starch used for during germination?

In the endosperm of a seed, there is a storage of starch which provides energy, required during germination. To tap into this energy and make it available to the embryo of the seed, the starch is first hydrolysed by an enzyme (alpha amylase) and converted into maltose (a disaccharide), then in turn, maltose is hydrolysed by the enzyme maltase to form glucose (a monosaccharide). The resulting glucose can then provide energy in the form of ATP and be used for growth by the embryo of the seed. Hope this helps.


How does the embryo get food for germination?

The seed embryo is nourished by stored starch in the plant.

This developing plant uses starch stored in the seed as a source of energy during germination This stored starch is a by-product of?

The stored starch is a by-product of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose; plants can convert and store excess glucose as starch. Both sugar and starch are types of carbohydrates.


Does the storing of a seed before germination effect the germination of the seed?

Yes because of Lauren Hallas.


What is needed for seed germination?

Seed germination requires the proper combination of oxygen, temperature, moisture and light. As the seed takes up water, it activates enzymes that direct the process of germination.
