Detailed explanation-1: -Seeds need oxygen so that they can produce energy for germination and growth. The embryo gets energy by breaking down its food stores. Like all organisms, this is done through a process known as aerobic respiration.-a series of reactions where energy is released from glucose, using oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The endosperm, cotyledons, and perisperm are all places where stored food may be found in seeds. During seed germination, the stored nourishment is utilized to sustain the embryo.
Detailed explanation-3: -All fully developed seeds contain an embryo and, in most plant species, a store of food reserves, wrapped in a seed coat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seeds have stored energy in the form of starch which feeds them until the leaves can begin the process of photosynthesis. In some ways they can be compared to batteries, holding energy until it is needed.
