In my opinion seeds do not need CO2 to germinate. All they need is water, oxygen, and the right temperature.
That is generally correct. Remember that most seeds carry some stored food with them, so they can grow for a while without making new food. Carbon dioxide is only useful for plants when they have enough light to turn the carbon dioxide into food and if they have enough food to make it possible for them to germinate already, they don't yet need carbon dioxide. Later on when they have made some green leaves or other parts that can use the carbon dioxide to supply what they need for growing, then they can use the carbon dioxide; in fact, without the carbon dioxide and light a plant would stop growing and it would die; it would starve to death. Some plants have big seeds with huge food stores so that they can germinate fast and grow quite big before they need the carbon dioxide and light. That is the sort of seed one finds in many kinds of forest trees, such as oak trees and avocado Pears. Most kinds of grass or dandelions grow out in the open, so they have little seeds because they don't have to grow long before they will be enough light for them to use the carbon dioxide.
What else can I help you with?
What is the affect of temperature on the rate of cell respiration in peas?
this should help:Respiration slowed down when the temperature was reduced, and respiration increased when the temperature increased. The germinating pea seeds consumed the most oxygen. The vials containing the dry seeds and glass beads had the same result. When the germinating seed is cooled down however, the rate of oxygen consumption is reduced drastically because all of the cellular processes are slowed down from the cooler surroundings. The germinating seeds consumed almost no oxygen throughout the experiment in the 10-degree C water bath. In the room temperature water bath, the glass beads, and the dry pea seeds and glass beads consumed the least amount of oxygen (see chart 1). Which means that the germinating seeds would slow down their respiration rates because of the colder temperature. They consumed almost three times as much oxygen as the glass beads alone, and the glass beads and dry pea seeds.
What few plants produce seeds that germinate successfully underwater?
Some examples of plants that produce seeds capable of germinating underwater include water lilies, water chestnuts, and water milfoils. These plants have adapted to survive and reproduce in aquatic environments through specialized structures that protect the seeds and enable successful germination underwater.
Why distilled water is provided to germinating seed?
if seeds are grown in distilled water then it increases rate of osmosis.
How much water should you give a germinating seed?
Germinating seeds should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. It's usually best to water the soil lightly so it doesn't wash away the seeds or compact the soil. Monitor the moisture level regularly to ensure the seeds have adequate water for germination.
What two things do plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. They also produce fruits, which contain seeds for reproduction and dispersion.
Why are the seeds not germinating?
Seeds may not be germinating due to factors such as insufficient water, improper temperature, lack of light, or poor soil quality.

Why pumpkin seeds are not germinating?
Seeds need water, sunlight, and good soil to grow. Most likely the seeds are lacking one of those necessaties.
What is needed in making food of plants but not by germinating seeds?
I think water, air, sunlight, soil ! :P

Why do pea seeds germinate under running water but soon die under still water?
Germination dry pea seeds if they are soaked into water for few 24 hours are taken out and excess water is removed & that the seeds are kept covered with a wet cloth and wait for 2 to 3 days. The peas start germinating in this way but If the seeds are kept continuously under water the seeds will fail to respire and die. I hope that i have answered your question :-)
Are lima beans living or non living?
Lima beens are living things. They contain an embryo that is capable of germinating to produce a new plant under optimum temperature, humidity and availability of water.
What would you do if you were given 25 germinating seeds to care for?
If given 25 germinating seeds to care for, you should plant them in soil, water them regularly, provide adequate sunlight, and protect them from pests. Monitor their growth and adjust care as needed to help them thrive into healthy plants.
What do plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. They also produce fruits, seeds, and flowers as part of their reproductive process.
