an increase in live mass by absorbing water over the first 24 hours which with soften the testa.
seed digests stored energy in cotyledons and the products of digestion (sugar/glucose and amino acids) are used in growth for the radicle and plumule torupture the testa and grow. Radicle grows positively gravitropically (With gravity i.e. down) and plumule grows negatively gravitropically (against gravity i.e. up).
once the plumule breaks through the soil and the true leaves have grown, the light stimulates the plant to become straighter, it also slows the rate of elongation and causes the plant to develop chlorophyll and turn green. Once this is complete, the plant starts photosynthesising as grows positively phototropically (towards the light).
Now, the plant doesn't need to used stored energy in the cotyledons as it's producing glucose needed for growth and respiration faster than its used in respiration via photosynthesis
What else can I help you with?
Is a jack fruit seed monocot or dicot?
A jackfruit seed is a dicot, as it belongs to the dicotyledonous group of plants. Dicots have two seed leaves (cotyledons) which can be observed when the seed germinates.
State the difference between what happens to a corn seed coat and to a bean seed coat at germination?
The difference is that the bean seed germinates by dicots and the corn seed germinates by monocots.
What do seed husks do?
They protect the seed to not get damage before it germinates
What is a sentence you can use for the word germinates?
The plant-seed germinates well in burned soil
When a seed sprouts into a plant?
When a plant starts to grow from a seed we say the seed germinates.
What is the difference of germination between monocotyledons and dicotyledons?
When a monocot seed germinates a single leaf is produced. Two seed leaves are produced with a dicot germinates.
Period of rest before the seed germinates?
dormancy
Where does a seed get its food from after it germinates?
A seed derives its food from the cotyledones or endosperm during germination
Do a seed stay growing if it does not have the right conditions to germinates?
yes.
When a plant germinates what does it grow?
A seed germinates when it is in a favorable condition, and thus begins to grow a root and a seed leaf. As these two parts continue to grow, the leaf will eventually poke through the soil.
Once a cherry seed germinates what must be done?
You need to plant it.
What is a cotyedon?
If you mean cotyledon, then that is part of the embryo inside of a seed. When the seed germinates it forms the first "leaf" of the plant.
