Why does the mass of a seed decrease during germination?
During germination, a seed utilizes its stored nutrients, primarily carbohydrates and proteins, to support the growth of the emerging plant. As these reserves are metabolized for energy and growth, the overall mass of the seed decreases. Additionally, water absorption can lead to weight changes, but the net effect is often a reduction in mass as the seed transitions to a growing seedling.
How man seed leaves does a dicot have?
A dicot typically has two seed leaves, also known as cotyledons, that emerge from the seed upon germination. These seed leaves provide nutrients for the plant until it can photosynthesize on its own.
How do seed leaves help the seedling?
seed leaves provide food for the seedling
How can you tell how many seed leaves a plant has?
Depends. - Do you know what kind of plant the seed is from? Look it up. - Can you wait until the seed germinates? Count the initial number of leaves it has as soon as it germinates and before it begins to grow new leaves. - Can you simply dissect the seed? Count how many leaves are on the embryonic plant inside. - Is this a plant that has already germinated and you want to identify (and count) which of its leaves are seed leaves? That's more difficult. Some plants discard their seed leaves within weeks after germination. Some keep them below the soil and only raise their true leaves above the soil. In some plants, the seed leaves are of a markedly different form that the true leaves, but in some (especially pine and related softwood trees) the seed leaves look almost identical to the true leaves.
Which part of the seed provides food for the seeding?
Seed leaves
Why did the mass of seed leaves decrease as the height of seedling increase?
I think that it increases because the plant needs to make food and the leaves are in charge of that. So yup!
Why does the mass of seed leaves increase?
Presumably you are talking about epigeal development, where the cotyledons grow out from the seed. At first they absorb water, and food from the adjacent parts of the seed, then when they are above ground, many of them photosynthesise.

seed leaves provide food for the seedling
Do you increase or decrease in mass?
you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out
What are plants with two seed leaves called?

What is the name of the very first leaves that grow out of a seed?

What does seed leaves mean?
the nontechnical name for cotyledon cot·y·le·don (ktl-dn) n. 1. Botany A leaf of the embryo of a seed plant, which upon germination either remains in the seed or emerges, enlarges, and becomes green. Also called seed leaf. 2. Anatomy One of the lobules constituting the uterine side of the mammalian placenta, consisting mainly of a rounded mass of villi.

first leaves that come out of the seed
Can you give me the characteristics of Dicotyledon seed?
A dicotyledon has leaves with a network of veins, and also, the seed contains an embryo that contains two seed leaves
