Removing the shell from a seed can hinder its ability to grow because the shell serves as a protective barrier and provides essential nutrients for germination. Without the shell, the seed may be more susceptible to pathogens and environmental stressors. However, some seeds may still germinate if they are viable and the conditions are right, but the chances of successful growth are generally reduced.

The seed that fell on the road represents the message of faith or positivity that is ignored or easily dismissed by others. Just as seeds on a road cannot take root and grow due to the hard ground, this seed symbolizes how some people are closed off to new ideas or teachings.
Will manipulating the seed affect its germination?
Without germination in the plant, the plant is not able to grow. The germination is the begining of life for the seed plant however the rate of germination is not directly related to rates of plant growth one can find speedy germinating seeds which grow slowly and vice versa.zaf.
What will happen to the seed leaf as the seedling grow?
The bulk of the seed leaves are absorbed and the depleted remains are shed - this is very obvious in legumes - peas and beans. In birds, the chick hatches with enough yolk left to sustain it for anything up to a week - it depends on the species; at the end of that time, the chick will have absorbed all of the yolk and must be digesting solid food.
What is the difference between epigeal and hypogeal germination?
in epigeal germination the cotyledon is pushed above the ground,the hypcotyle is long and the epicotyle is short whereas in hypogeal germination the cotyledon stays below the soil, epicotyle is long and hypocotyle is short.
Is seed production by sexual reproduction?
no. a seed has already gone through sexual reproduction because a seed is created by a pollen sperm fuzing with the egg of a plant. Once the abscisic acid surrounding the seed is washed off the seed starts to use the food from the endoderm to grow.
How are pomagranet seeds dispersed?
Natural means by wind,birds etc.Usually the fruit with shell is dropped off the ground and grow.Birds and animals may take the seed and disperse it.
Explain what happens to the cotyledons of a seed as the seed begins to grow?
as the seed begins to grow the cotyledons shrivel up and drop off. by this point the stored food in the cotyledon is used up and the leaves can carry on photosynthesis
If a seed falls off during germination can the root still grow?

Can you grow oranges from seeds?
The only way to grow an orange tree is from an orange seed. Answer: Orange trees are propagated from cuttings. Basically this means cutting a small piece of a branch off and sticking it in the ground and it will grow roots. (It's alot more complicated than that but that is the basic idea) If you grow an orange tree from a seed it will not be 'true' to the parent. This means that if the seed comes from the most beautiful tasting orange the tree that the seed produces may grow horrible oranges.

Does a turtles shell come off in winter?

Do sunflowers undergo epigeal germination?
I'm no expert, but I believe yes: From: http://www.answers.com/topic/epigeal In botany, a seed is described as epigeal when the cotyledons of the germinating seed expand, throw off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground. The converse, where the cotyledons remain non-photosynthetic, inside the seed shell, and below ground, is hypogeal. And http://www.answers.com/topic/cotyledon Cotyledons may be either epigeal, expanding on the germination of the seed, throwing off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground; or hypogeal, not expanding, remaining below ground and not becoming photosynthetic. The latter is typically the case where the cotyledons act as a storage organ, as in many nuts and acorns. And http://www.answers.com/topic/germination
