Germination of a seed involves changes such as the activation of enzymes to break down stored nutrients, the absorption of water to rehydrate the seed, and the initiation of cellular growth to form the root and shoot of the new plant. These changes occur to allow the seed to transition from a dormant state to an actively growing seedling.
What else can I help you with?
Define and explain types of germination?
There are three types of germination 1.Hypogeal germination and epigeal germination and Cleistogeal germination. Hypogeal Germination: In this kind of Germination, the seed leaves or the cotyledons remain under the surface of soil. example: pea seeds - Epigeal Germination: In this type of Germination, the seed leaves grow above the ground on the new shoot. example: ash tree -Cleistogeal Germination: A special leaf that has a central umbrella like stalk forms above the ground which protects the shoot from any damage. So the development of the shoot can not be seen.
What is the name for the growth of a plant embryo from a seed?
Germination.
What is it called when a seed begins to grow?
Well, there's seed development when the inflorescences of the seed head stop flowering and everything goes into seed production, and then there is germination, where a plant grows from a seed that was planted in the soil.
Where does seed germination take place?
Seed germination typically takes place in the soil. The seed absorbs water from the soil, which triggers the germination process by initiating metabolic functions that allow the seedling to sprout and grow.
Which part of the seed develops into a seedling at the time of germination?
The cotyledon of the seed develops into a seedling at the time of germination.
State the difference in how seeds react for both types of germination?
Epigeal germination is the process in which the seed leaves or the cotyledons are brought on to the surface along with the shoot during germination. Hypogeal germination is the process in which the seed leaves or the cotyledons remain below the soil surface during germination.

What is the name for the growth of a plant embryo from a seed?
Germination.
Where does water enter into a bean?
Germination of the seed causes changes within the seed coat which allows for massive absorption of water via imbibition.
What happens to a seed after germination?
The contents of a seed are used up after germination by the seedling growing from it.
What is it called when a seed begins to grow?
Well, there's seed development when the inflorescences of the seed head stop flowering and everything goes into seed production, and then there is germination, where a plant grows from a seed that was planted in the soil.
Does the storing of a seed before germination effect the germination of the seed?
Yes because of Lauren Hallas.
Where does seed germination take place?
Seed germination typically takes place in the soil. The seed absorbs water from the soil, which triggers the germination process by initiating metabolic functions that allow the seedling to sprout and grow.
What causes seed germination to begin?
germination begins when seed tissues absorb water.
Why does high concentrated sugar inhibit seed germination?
when the water used in germination is sugary, it does not enter the seed
Which part of the seed develops into a seedling at the time of germination?
The cotyledon of the seed develops into a seedling at the time of germination.
