i think it uses its food when it is GROWING

No, actually, the embryo is using a small amount of stored reserve even when the seed is dry, dormant and sitting in a packet on the shelf. That's part of the reason why dry seeds eventually die if they're kept long enough.But you're right.. when the seed begins to germinate, then the increase in metabolism over what it was in the dry state is huge.Source(s):old biologist
Seedlings get their food from their "seed leaves" which is kind of a built in food for the seedling as it grows.
The plant uses up the nutrients stored in the cotyledons, they become smaller and eventually drop off once the plant is able to produce food for its self
Monggo seeds have one cotyledon because it is monocot seed. Monocot seed has one cotyledon but dicots has two cotyledon.
During photosynthesis, plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy from the food is stored in the glucose molecule for later use by the plant, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere.
A seed uses its stored food when it is growing.
A seed uses its stored food when it is growing.
when a seed begins to grow the young plant uses the food stored in the seed. the spores of the seedless plants dont have stored food to help a new plant grow.
the seeds are in the nucleus & the food is produced by the sap vacuole
Life cycle of seed : Seed Coat - Protects the inside of the seed. Embryo - the beginning of the new plant. Endosperm - Stored food in a monocotyledon. Stored Food - a plant uses stored food until it grows leaves that can make food. Monocot - a type of seed that has only one cotyledon. Dicot - a type of seed that has two cotyledons. Cotyledon - Leaf-like structure that absorbs and digest food stored in the seed. Germination - the process of growing a new plant from a seed.
A seed contains an embryo plant which uses the endosperm inside the seed for food before it is planted.

The germinating seed uses its stored energy reserves to fuel the initial growth of a root and shoot. Enzymes within the seed break down complex molecules like starch and proteins into simple sugars and amino acids, which the developing plant uses for energy and growth. The seed also responds to environmental cues like light, moisture, and temperature to trigger specific growth responses, such as germination and directional growth towards light.

The cotyledon is the stored food in a seed. The embryo uses it as food while it's growing. The cotyledon will become the leaves of the new plant.
True. A seedling uses sugars stored in its seed leaf (cotyledon) as a source of energy during its early growth stages until it develops its own leaves for photosynthesis.
The plant uses up the nutrients stored in the cotyledons, they become smaller and eventually drop off once the plant is able to produce food for its self
