What is the inactive stage of a seed known as?
The inactive stage of a seed is known as dormancy. During dormancy, the seed is in a state of suspended animation, waiting for the right conditions to germinate and start growing into a plant.
What do you mean by dormancy in a seed?
Seed dormancy is a condition of plant seeds that prevents germination when the seeds are under optimal environmental conditions for germination. Living, non dormant seeds germinate when soil temperatures and moisture conditions are suited for cellular processes and division; dormant seeds do not.
What ends dormancy of a seed?
Dormancy is poorly understood in terms of what causes it although it is likely that very many mechanisms exist, most of them probably chemical in nature. Some responsible compounds have been isolated, but in most cases, how they work is not understood. Breaking of dormancy is reasonably well understood in empirical terms. Things that are known to break dormancy include, particular cycles of wet and dry and/or heat and cold, exposure to one period above or below a certain temperature for a certain minimum period, exposure to certain chemicals (such as smoke), abrasion of the seed-coat (perhaps by being eaten but not digested). The list is considerable and particular seeds may require any one or more triggers to germinate.
What is a period of suspended life processes brought on by changes in the environment?
That is called dormancy, where an organism enters a state of minimal physiological activity in response to unfavorable conditions such as cold temperatures, lack of water, or scarcity of food. During dormancy, the organism conserves energy and resources until conditions become more favorable for growth and survival.

Is exgenous dormancy linked to induced dormancy?
Exogenous dormancy is caused by external factors such as temperature or light conditions, while induced dormancy is triggered by specific signals or treatments. These two types of dormancy are related in the sense that external conditions can induce dormancy in a plant, but they are not the same thing. Exogenous dormancy is the result of external factors, while induced dormancy is triggered by specific stimuli.
Make a sentence of awake and awoken?
Fish ponds, including koi ponds, come awake in the spring after a winter of semi -dormancy.
Do all plants go into dormancy?
No, not all plants go into dormancy. Some tropical plants do not experience dormancy due to their consistent warm climate and do not need to undergo a period of dormancy to survive.
What is exogenous dormancy?
Exogenous dormancy refers to a period of dormancy induced by external factors such as environmental conditions like temperature or humidity. This type of dormancy is not inherent to the seed itself but is a response to external stimuli.
What a young plant that rests during dormancy?
An embryo inside the seed rests during dormancy
What type of dormancy do humans exhibit?
Humans exhibit obligate dormancy, which is a type of dormancy where the organism must enter a dormant state in order to survive harsh conditions. An example of this is hibernation during cold weather.
What is physiological dormancy?
Physiological dormancy is a type of seed dormancy where the embryo is underdeveloped and unable to germinate even under suitable conditions. This dormancy is mainly regulated by internal factors within the seed that need to be overcome for germination to occur.

How would you use 'when' in a sentence?
So- you are asking when to use 'when' in a sentence. When you are asking how to use when in a question, you are already using when in a sentence, because a question actually is a sentence. I like to use when in a sentence whenever I like.
