State effect of enzymes on the germination of the seeds?
Enzymes play a large role in seed germination. The enzymes break down the materials that are stored in the seed.
What is the function of endosperm in monocot and dicot seed?
The endosperm in monocot seeds serves as a nutrient reserve that provides nourishment to the developing embryo. In dicot seeds, the endosperm is often absorbed by the developing embryo during seed maturation, leaving the cotyledons to function as the primary nutrient storage tissue.
What breaks down the cotyledon?
The cotyledon is broken down by enzymes within the seed during germination. These enzymes help to digest stored nutrients within the cotyledon, providing essential energy and building blocks for the developing seedling.
What is the function of the seed coat an the cotyledons?
To protect the seed.
What gas is needed for germination?
Oxygen is the primary gas needed for germination. It is required to activate enzymes that control the metabolic processes within the seed during germination.
How does the embryo get food for germination?
The embryo in a seed gets its food from the endosperm or cotyledons within the seed. During germination, enzymes break down the stored food reserves in the seed to provide energy for the embryo to grow and develop into a seedling.
What is the function of a seed coat and the cotyledons?
The seed coat protects the seed from mechanical damage, pathogens, and dehydration during dormancy. Cotyledons are the embryonic leaves in a seed that provide nutrients to the seedling until it can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
What is the function of the hypocotyl?
It is the part of the seed that develops into the stem.
What is the function of the plant Seed?
Seed develops on a plant to allow that plant to reproduce itself.
What is the function of integuments in flowers?
Integuments, after fertilization turn to the seed coat, which protects the seed
What is microphyl?
A Microphyll is a particular section of the seed that allows water to enter the seed which causes the seed coat to swell and bursts. Once the seed coat has burst, the enzymes starts to become active which begins the process of germination.
Function of seed?
to provide the next generation
