Plant cells, like all cells, need a continuous supply of energy. If a cell stops respiring, it dies.
Respiration is the release of energy from high-energy compounds, such as glucose.
The energy is needed for many processes, such as all synthesis reactions, active transport, and movement of organelles.

How does the mimosa disperse its seeds?
The seed pod is round and contains seeds which are flattened. It gets stuck to animal and germinates when dropped.
What is germination ratio?
the percentage of seeds that geminate in a given group of seeds. If you sow 10 seeds and only one germinates (sprouts) then you have a 10% germination rate
Can seed survive in vacuum condition?
Yes, because seeds respire anaerobically.
Why are seeds important to the life cycle of plants?
sexual reproduction of plants leads to formation of seed, that are the dormant embryo of plants that can bear extreme harsh conditions and as it gets favourable condition, the seed germinates.
What is germination triggered by?
Germination is a term used to describe the first stages of a young seeds life. Basically, the reason a seeds germinates or starts its life is when it becomes non-dormant of when you add water, sunlight, and other basic needs for a growing plant.
Is germinates an adjective?
No. Germinates is a form of the verb. The form "germinated" may be used as an adjective describing seeds or spores.

Does dry seeds respire?
No, as cell respiration (anaerobic and aerobic), both need the seeds to be alive.
How does a rambutan disperse seeds?
The fruit is hairy and it gets clung onto animals which brush through them and the seeds pop out when the fruit is dried and it germinates and grows into a new plant.
Can seed survive in vacuum condition?
Yes, because seeds respire anaerobically.
What is the physiological function of fats in seeds?
Fat in seeds is located in the portion of the seed called the endosperm. This is a lipoprotein complex that serves to nourish the developing embryo when the seed germinates.
How do spores structurally different from seeds?
1. Spores are single celled and seeds are multicelled 2. A spore germinates to form a gametophyte, whereas a seed germinates to form a sporophyte 3. Spores can hardly survive for longer period during adverse conitions, but seeds can do 4. Spores are produced in the sporangium; seeds are produced inside the fruit
The life cycle of plant?
In the beginning - Seeds How do they grow? - Germination Seeds on the move - Travel A seed germinates, grows, and develops into a plant.
Why are seeds important to the life cycle of plants?
sexual reproduction of plants leads to formation of seed, that are the dormant embryo of plants that can bear extreme harsh conditions and as it gets favourable condition, the seed germinates.
Does light effect whether or not a seed germinates?
It depends on the seed. Some seeds require complete darkness, some require semi-darkness, and others require light.
