The opening where water enters
Water enters the seed through a process called imbibition, where the seed absorbs water through its seed coat. This triggers metabolic processes in the seed that allow it to germinate and start growing. The water penetrates the seed through small pores or cracks in the seed coat.
Yes, the micropyle is a small pore present in the seed coat of many seeds. It is typically located at one end of the seed and serves as the opening through which the pollen tube enters during fertilization. In mature seeds, the micropyle allows for the passage of water and gases, facilitating germination.
Germination is the name of the process when water enters a seed, causing it to lose its seed coat and initiate the growth of a root and a stem. This process marks the beginning of a seed's growth into a new plant.
The hole in the seed coating or testa is called the micropyle. Its function is to allow water to enter to start the seed growing.
A miniature plant inside the seed is called an embryo
The sievelike disc-shaped opening in an echinoderm's body through which water enters and leaves is called the madreporite. It is the entrance to the water vascular system, which helps in functions like respiration and movement.
It enters the body through the vaginal opening.
In general the hot coolant enters the top opening and out the lower to the water pump.

Yes bean seeds are provided with very hard and impervious seed coat. Water enters in it through micropyle only. If the seed coat is removed (skinned), the hydrophilic proteins inside will absorb water at a faster rate.
When a bean seed is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the seed through osmosis due to the lower concentration of solutes outside the seed compared to the inside. This influx of water causes the seed to swell, activating metabolic processes and potentially prompting germination. The increased turgor pressure can help break the seed coat, allowing the seed to sprout. However, if the solution is too hypotonic, it could lead to cell damage or bursting.
