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.


Will a raw egg shrink or grow in water?

Technically it would grow. When water is added to cells they expand to a certain point. I don't think that you would be able to tell the difference with your eyes but on a cellular level the cells inside the eggshell would expand from the water. Cells shrink as they lose water, but since the cells gain water they may slightly expand.


Why did celery grow bigger in water?

You know that all plants need water and celery is a plant that is why it grows bigger in water.


Why does an egg grow bigger in tap water?

I believe it is referred to "dino egg" or "magic egg", expandable water toys. These toys are made from water absorbent polymer which can absorb water and swell to a lot larger size. So absorbing water cause them to grow bigger. For common egg, chicken egg had shell and won't expand, ikura (salmon egg in soy sauce) had no external shell and would expand due to absorption of water.


What the plant cells called that absorb water and swell up by absorbing water?

The plant cells that absorb water and swell up are called parenchyma cells. These cells have thin cell walls and can expand to store water, aiding in plant support and growth.

What 5 things expand when cooled?

water True, but only in the range 4 degrees Celsius to zero Celsius.


Oil expand or contract when heated?

Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.


When water is cooled does it expand or extract?

When water is cooled, it contracts or shrinks. This is because the molecules slow down and move closer together, which decreases the volume of the water. At temperatures close to freezing, however, water expands due to the formation of ice crystals.


As water is cooled what happens to the density?

As water is cooled, its density increases until it reaches its maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius. Below 4 degrees Celsius, water begins to expand as it freezes, which is why ice is less dense than liquid water.


Do most solids expand when cooled?

No, most solids contract when cooled, as the lower temperature causes the atoms or molecules to move less, leading to a decrease in volume. However, there are exceptions, such as water, which expands when cooled below 4°C before turning into ice.


Do any matter expand when cooled and contract when heated?

Sort of. In the temperature range of 0-4 Degrees Celsius water contracts when heated and expands when cooled. Outside of this temperature range it behaves normally.


What do most materials do when they are cooled?

Most materials contract and become denser as they are cooled due to the decrease in thermal energy causing the atoms or molecules to move slower and come closer together. However, certain materials such as water expand when cooled to form ice, which is less dense than liquid water.


Does jelly expand when being cooled and left to set?

No jelly does not expand because its particles are not being frozen.


Is a Honda goldwing 1100 oil cooled or water cooled?

Water cooled.


What changes do you think when water heated and cooled?

When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and move more quickly, causing the water to expand and eventually turn into steam. When water is cooled, the molecules lose energy and move more slowly, causing the water to contract and eventually freeze into ice.


Does water contract or expand when it is cooled?

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%
