It is mostly the light's effect upon a plant pigment called phytochrome within the seed. Light in the red wave length usually promotes germination, whereas blue light inhibits it.

What condintions are needed for seed germination of three plants such as corn peas and beans?

Warm soil and moisture for germination. After germination is when all of the other factors affect plant growth. There are Organic Seed Starters available which can change days of normal germination into hours. The best Organic Seed Starter I have used changed the 7- 10 day germination printed on the packet to only 24 hours.


What are examples of epigeal and hypogeal?

Epigeal germination occurs when the cotyledons emerge above the ground during germination, such as in beans and sunflowers. Hypogeal germination is when the cotyledons remain below the ground, like in peas and peanuts.


When respiration starts in a seed has germination has begun?

Yes, when respiration starts in a seed, it typically indicates the beginning of germination. Respiration is a key metabolic process that provides energy for the seed to begin the germination process, where it starts to grow into a new plant.


If you pour germinating peas in a beaker and boiled peas in another in which beaker will the temperature rise?

The temperature will rise in the beaker containing the germinating peas due to the metabolic processes of germination producing heat. The boiled peas do not have living metabolic activity, so they will not generate heat in the same way.

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.


Name a few seeds which undergo epigeal germination?

Some seeds that undergo epigeal germination include beans, peas, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and most types of dicot plants. In epigeal germination, the cotyledons are pushed above the soil surface as the seedling emerges.


Do germinating peas have a higher respiratory rate than ungerminated peas?

Yes, germinating peas have a higher respiratory rate than ungerminated peas. During germination, metabolic processes increase as the seeds convert stored nutrients into energy to support growth, leading to heightened respiration. This increased activity results in a higher consumption of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide compared to ungerminated peas, which are in a dormant state.


Is catalase present soaked peas?

yes catalase is present in soaked peas. water absorption does not affect the enzyme activity.


Can peas be light deficient?

Yes, peas can be light deficient. The vegetables in question have specific air, heat, light, moisture, and nutrient requirements as well as spatial needs. The over- or under-realization of any of the above-mentioned cultivational requirements and environmental configurations can be problematic, such as light deficiency in indoor- and low light-grown peas.

What is the effect of germination on the rate of cell respiration on peas?

Like most organisms, when a pea is germinating, or growing, it needs more energy. As such, the respiration increases significantly during this time.
