Germination of seeds
-Definition
Development of seed into a new plant when conditions are favorable
Conditions required
Optimum temp for enzyme activity
Oxygen and water for respiration to make energy
-Dormant period
Resting period when they're dry and reduced activities so they can survive the unfavorable conditions
-Stages of germination be it epigeal orhypogeal
Absorption of water causes the seed to swell
Food stored converted to sugars
So seed respires to release energy
Energy used for growth
As a result radicle emerges followed by plumule
On the development of cotyledon photosynthesis starts since they are green and thus the seedling now becomes a self supporting plant
If cotyledons below earth so hypo and if above so epigeal germination
Hope this helps out, remember me in your prayers, Jazak Allah!:')
