How does softening of the seed coats before planting affect the growth rate?
Softening of seed coats helps the seed germinate. After soaking the seed in hot water (do not boil), for 5-6 hours the coat will soft. Plant immediately after taking the seed out of the water.
What causes the seed coat to crack open allowing a new plant to grow?
water pressure inside the seed coat
What softens the seed coat and makes the seeds swell?
water
Describe the role in the germination process of the seed coat?
The seed coat contains and protects the embryo and endosperm until the seed has imbibed enough water to swell the seed and break the seed coat, allowing the embryo to start lengthening.
What is a seed coat?
The seed coat or testa is a protective covering that forms around the fertilized ovule.The coating is normally hard and water resistant and provides protection from dessication (drying out). Additionally the seed coat also allows the seed to be eaten by certain animals and birds which then pass the seed undigested through their digestive tracts and facilitate dispersal of the seeds. The seed coat is formed in the ovary shortly after fertilization from the integument.Once the correct conditions have been met for germination the seed coat will start to absorb water, soften and eventually split as the embryo inside starts to absorb water, swell and germinate.

Are there any new, more efficient sprinkler systems?
There are irrigation systems which evenly coat the place with less water but enough so you dont waste water soaking the ground unesscirarily. Plus, some states offer rebates for such an efficient system. Many public facilities have these automated and programmed to spray in the morning and night for less water evaporation.
What is proof that lima beans are living?
Well, in class we did this experiment where we put the lima beans in our mouths for around 7-10 minutes, and when we took them out, the coat was swollen and peeled off, and the embryo was already sprouting. So, that is a sign that lima beans are LIVING. [:
How do you dry a wool coat?
Depending on how wet the wool coat is, you can choose several options. If you've been rained on wearing a wool coat, you can air-dry it on a hanger with substantial shoulder shaping, if it is not soaked. If your coat is soaking wet, you want to air-dry it flat, so that it does not loose its shape. This may take several days, during which time you'll turn the coat over and hand-straighten its shape to brush out wrinkles.
How do you think the removal of the seed coat will affect the growth of your lima beans?
probably speed up germination but wont have an effect later on

Do rain coat absorbs water?
no thats why it protects us from water!
Do you have to use special nail stuff for water marbling?
all you need is purified water, nail polish, tape, top coat, and base coat.
Why are lima beans bad?
They contain linamarin (also called cyanogen), which releases a cyanide compound when the seed coat is opened. They are safe when cooked.
Why is it important to test a seeds before planting?
Soaking is a common practice on with some seeds to increase or speed up the rate of germination. Seeds with thick testa (seed coats) are generally better candidates. Soaking allows water to penetrate the seed coat a lot faster than if the seed was simply placed in damp soil.
What is a water proof rain coat called?
Ponco
Can bleach fumes kill cannabis plants?
Yes, diluted bleach can be used to clean seeds and kill any fungal spores that may be attached to the seed coat. BUT, undiluted bleach, or prolonged soaking in bleach (even diluted) can burn and kill the seed once it penetrates the seed coat
