Seed germination requires the proper combination of oxygen, temperature, moisture and light. As the seed takes up water, it activates enzymes that direct the process of germination.
Oxygen gas is needed by the seed during germination. Aerobic respiration takes place during seed germination to release lots of energy required for this process.
Oxygen is the primary gas needed for germination. It is required to activate enzymes that control the metabolic processes within the seed during germination.
Germination in a seed typically begins when the seed is planted in soil and provided with the right conditions such as water, warmth, and oxygen.
Germination of a seed is generally considered an irreversible process, as it marks the beginning of the growth of a new plant. Once the seed has undergone germination and starts to grow, it cannot revert back to its dormant state.
In order for germination of a seed to take place the seed must be viable. Sufficient food must be available for the seed to grow. Water, air, oxygen and appropriate temperature must also be available for the seedâ??s growth.

The conditions necessary for seed germination include:optimum temperature,oxygen,adequate supply of water,sunlight,moisture content,soil ph......
seed germination needs moist soil and sunny temperate climate.
Water is the most important liquid needed for germination. It helps to soften the seed coat, activate enzymes, and provide the necessary moisture for the seed to begin the process of sprouting and growing.
Sunlight is not need to germinate seeds. All that is needed is moisture and the proper temperatures.
first the water is absorbed by the seed shell which physicly helps germination, secondly it is the first signal needed for the embrio inside the seed to start activating all the biochemical and genetic process needed for germination

Warm soil and moisture for germination. After germination is when all of the other factors affect plant growth. There are Organic Seed Starters available which can change days of normal germination into hours. The best Organic Seed Starter I have used changed the 7- 10 day germination printed on the packet to only 24 hours.
Germination.
The contents of a seed are used up after germination by the seedling growing from it.
Water will typically start the germination process of seeds. This is because the water is needed to break down the protective shell on the seed.
