What is the seed coat function in terrestrial plant?
nourishes the embryo Seed coat protects the embryo from unfabourable conditions of growth
How is seed adapted for long survival?
The seed is incased in a seed coat that is very protective and the embryo within the seed is dormant, meaning that the seed is able to survive long periods without food or water.
What Structure holds seeds?
a seed coat, storage tissue, and a dormant embryo. the seed coat protects the seed from drying out, endosperm is the temporary food supply and the cotyledon is the embryo.
What is the name for the growth of a plant embryo from a seed?
Germination.
What two characteristics of a seed help an embryo survive harsh conditions?
Inside a seed is a food supply for the developing plant embryo. The outside of a seed is a protective coat. This allows a seed to survive cold weather or a lack of water. A seed can remain dormant for months, or even years, while waiting for the right growing conditions.

What is physiological dormancy?
it is a condition which prevents embryo growth and seed germination until chemical changes
Is the dormant seed first part of plant to grow?
Yes. All growth starts from a seed, unless the plant is propagated by cuttings or other methods.
What plant store food in their seeds?
All seed plants store food within the seed; this takes the form of the cotyledons which are there to provide nutrition to the embryo while it is dormant and then while the seed is germinating and before it is able to produce its own food
What is the respiratory rate of a dormant seed versus a germinated seed?
foe a dormant seed it is almost negligible and for a germinated seed it is more.
The embryo in a seed gets food from the?
The embryo in the seed get food from endosperm and perisperm.
Why is water necessary for the developing plant embryo during the germination of a named dicotyledonous seed?
Moisture and the correct temperature trigger the start of the growth sequence of seed.
