Difference between seed dormancy and seed quiescence?
Some seeds cannot germinate under favourable condition is called seed dormancy whereas some seed cannot germinate in unfavourable condition is called seed quiscence.
Whether a seed without an embryo could germinate?
During seed germination embryo in a seed grows. As a result a small seedling comes out of the seed.
Which must be present before seed will germinate?

What is to begin to develop from a seed?
When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
Can a seed put in a beaker of water with a layer of oil germinate?
no
Why seed cannot germinate without water?
Water triggers the enzymatic activities in the seed. Therefore, in the absence of water seed will not germinate for want of enzymatic activities.
How much water do you need to germinate a seed?
you need one cup of water to germinate a seed
Why cannot a seed germinate when the seed is put in a beaker of water with a layer of oil in it?
In this situation the layer of oil will not permit oxygen to percolate in water hence in the absence of oxygen aerobic respiration is not possible. That is why the seeds will not germinate.
Difference between seed dormancy and seed quiescence?
Some seeds cannot germinate under favourable condition is called seed dormancy whereas some seed cannot germinate in unfavourable condition is called seed quiscence.
Why seed can't germinate in water?
Seeds want water, sun, nutrients. If 1 think is missing then plant cannot grow. In water seed cant get sun light as in with out water/

What is to begin to develop from a seed?
When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
Can a seed put in a beaker of water with a layer of oil germinate?
no
Why seeds can germinate by using tap water and seed cant germinate by using boiled water cooled to room temperature?
Tap water also contains some ammount of oxygen in dissolved form which is needed by the seed during germination for respiration. in boiled and cooled water oxygen is removed during boiling. Hence seed can germinate in tap water and not in boiled and cooled water.
When do sunflower seed germinate?
