NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This stage is referred to as Imbibition. It starts the growth process by activation of enzymes. The seed activates its internal physiology and starts to respire and produce proteins and metabolizes the stored food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seed germination is the most important stage in a plants life cycle. Water, air, temperature and light are all essential for the seed germination process starting from imbibition, activation and succeeding manifestation.

Detailed explanation-3: -We call this imbibition, and sometimes the seed or fruit requires special treatment for water to get into the seed and start this process. We often use the emergence of the radicle (the embryonic root) from the seed coat as a measure of successful germination.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is B germination. The growth of a seed into a young plant or a seedling is called germination.

Detailed explanation-5: -Seeds generally “wake up” and germinate when soil moisture and temperature conditions are favorable for them to grow. But not all seeds have the same germination requirements, so it is important to know what each seed type needs. Seeds need the proper temperature, moisture, air, and light conditions to germinate.
