Yes, boiling lentils significantly affects their germination. The high temperatures during boiling denature proteins and kill the seeds, rendering them non-viable for germination. While soaked or sprouted lentils can still germinate, those that have been boiled cannot grow into new plants.
Lentils typically take about 7 to 14 days to germinate, depending on factors such as temperature, moisture, and seed quality. Ideal conditions for germination include temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C) and consistent moisture in the soil. Once germinated, lentils can grow rapidly, maturing in about 70 to 100 days.
Yes, acid rain does affect germination of seeds by mixing in with the soil and damaging the seed coating.
no, not really but it can't be boiling water because it would scold the roots of the plant. note plz comment on my discussion bored thx i hope i helped
k
yes
electrolites in the water inhibit the plants ability to absorb water which is essencial for germination
There is a chemical reaction happening between the lentils and the water.
yes
Physical change because the water molecules stay unchanged during boiling, also the germination phase helps this be proved correct=)

If the amount of water is to great around the bean seed it will die and not be able to germinate.
Basically more chlorine=less germination
