What else can I help you with?
How the amount of water affects the germination?
The enzymes in the dry seeds get activated after absorbing water and it unlocks several chemical reaction leading to the germination of seed.
What effect high temperature have radish germination formulate your hypothesis?
High temperatures can have a negative effect on radish germination as they can dry out the soil, reduce water uptake by the seeds, and inhibit enzymatic activity crucial for germination. Hypothesis: If radish seeds are exposed to high temperatures, then their germination rate will decrease compared to seeds exposed to optimal temperatures.
What happens to starch before it is used for germination?
It has to be turned into a sugar, such as sucrose.
What is the formula in getting the percentage of seeds germination?
(# of seeds germinated/# of seeds sown)*100=% of germination
What is the formula in getting the percentage of germination of seeds?
(# of seeds germinated/# of seeds sown)*100=% of germination
If you were testing the effect temperature has on seed germination where could you place the different containers with seeds in them?
incubators
Why do seeds need enzymes to convert starch for germination?
Seeds require enzymes to break down starch into simple sugars during germination because the plant embryo cannot use the larger starch molecules directly for energy. The enzymes help to convert starch into a form that the plant can easily use as a source of energy to support its initial growth until it can start photosynthesizing on its own.
Why Does hot water kill plant seeds?
Hot water can kill plant seeds because it can denature the proteins and enzymes essential for seed germination. Exposing seeds to high temperatures can disrupt cellular membranes and cause irreversible damage to vital seed structures, preventing germination. Additionally, hot water can also stimulate the release of compounds that inhibit seed germination.
What are four things seeds require for germination?
Seeds require water, oxygen, suitable temperature, and light (depending on the species) for germination. Water activates enzymes that begin the growth process, while oxygen is essential for cellular respiration. The right temperature ensures that the metabolic processes occur efficiently, and some seeds may need light to trigger germination, while others germinate in darkness.
What is the name given when seeds produce tiny shoots and roots?
Germination.
Does water affect germination rate?
Yes, water is essential for the germination process as it softens the seed coat and activates enzymes that trigger germination. The availability of water also helps in the uptake of nutrients from the soil, which is necessary for the seedling to grow. However, excessive water can lead to waterlogging and inhibit germination.
What is a catchy title for my science fair project about the effect of different temperatures on the basil seeds germination?
Basil Seeds Hot or Basil Seeds Cold is a title referencing a nursery rhyme.
