The baby plant in the seed uses the food stored in the seed only when it starts growing?
No, actually, the embryo is using a small amount of stored reserve even when the seed is dry, dormant and sitting in a packet on the shelf. That's part of the reason why dry seeds eventually die if they're kept long enough.But you're right.. when the seed begins to germinate, then the increase in metabolism over what it was in the dry state is huge.Source(s):old biologist
Why cotyledon becomes smaller when a bean seed germinates?
The plant uses up the nutrients stored in the cotyledons, they become smaller and eventually drop off once the plant is able to produce food for its self
When food is scarce the human body adapts by energy?
The body uses fat which is a stored form of energy.
Where does a seedling get its food from?
Seedlings get their food from their "seed leaves" which is kind of a built in food for the seedling as it grows.
What happends to food energy during photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light energy along with carbon dioxide to make molecules, or food energy. This food energy is stored in chemical bonds.
When a seed uses it's stored food?
A seed uses its stored food when it is growing.
When does a seed use it stored food?
A seed uses its stored food when it is growing.
What are two advantages seed have over spores?
when a seed begins to grow the young plant uses the food stored in the seed. the spores of the seedless plants dont have stored food to help a new plant grow.
What is a seed uses its stored food when it?
the seeds are in the nucleus & the food is produced by the sap vacuole
What are the daily changes of seed after sown in the soil?
Life cycle of seed : Seed Coat - Protects the inside of the seed. Embryo - the beginning of the new plant. Endosperm - Stored food in a monocotyledon. Stored Food - a plant uses stored food until it grows leaves that can make food. Monocot - a type of seed that has only one cotyledon. Dicot - a type of seed that has two cotyledons. Cotyledon - Leaf-like structure that absorbs and digest food stored in the seed. Germination - the process of growing a new plant from a seed.
What are three survival advantages that seed producing plants have over non seed producing plants?
when a seed begins to grow, the young plant uses the food stored in the seed. the spores of seedless plants don't have stored food to help a new plant grow. seeds can be spread by animals. the spores of a seedless plant are spread by wind. animals spread more efficiently than the wind spreads spores.
How does the germinating seed go about harnessing its stored energy and using the environment?
A germinating seed uses its stored energy obtained from the environment and photosynthesis to both grow and reproduce, as the stored energy can be applied to individual cells.
How does a seed live?
A seed contains an embryo plant which uses the endosperm inside the seed for food before it is planted.
The baby plant in the seed uses the food stored in the seed only when it starts growing?

Is a seed living or nonliving How do you know?
Seeds are alive. They contain an embryo plant which uses the endosperm inside the seed for food until they are planted.
Function of the cotyledon?
The cotyledon is the stored food in a seed. The embryo uses it as food while it's growing. The cotyledon will become the leaves of the new plant.
