Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the seed gets the proper amount of sunlight, air, and water the seed is going through ____
A
pollen
B
watering
C
germination
D
metamorphosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All seeds need water, oxygen, and proper temperature in order to germinate. Some seeds require proper light also. Some germinate better in full light while others require darkness to germinate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis but the materials they need for growth primarily come from water and air. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose through the process of photosynthesis, which is powered by sunlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants harvest energy from the sun with the help of chlorophyll and carotenoid, two photon-capturing molecules. But if the plants are exposed to too much sun, these molecules absorb more energy than they can handle and generate reactive species of oxygen that can destroy the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water allows the seed to swell up and all the chemical reactions involved in the growth of the embryo to take place. Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration which provides the energy the embryo needs to carry out cell division and grow.

Detailed explanation-5: -Light is not necessary for a seed to germinate, no. The majority of seeds grow most effectively in the dark. Light, which is essential for seedling growth, may actually hinder the germination process. The three primary and necessary conditions for a seed to germinate are water, oxygen, and temperature.
