Questions Related to seed to plants

State whether the following statements are true or false.
A dry pea seed will have more dry weight than a germinated one.

evs seeds and seeds introduction to plant organs and germination seed to plants germination of seeds

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dry seeds of the pea have more dry weight as all the moisture in the seeds got absorbed and becomes hard due to the loss of water. In the germinated seed, more water is present so its fresh weight will be higher than the dry seed. Fresh weight is the weight of the living part of the plant while dry weight is the weight of the dry plant part.

So, the correct statement is 'True'.

  1. Ethylene

  2. Cytokinin

  3. Abscisic acid

  4. Gibberellin

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gibberellins invigorate the combination of α-amylase and proteases compound in germinating grains of oats. They are associated with the transformation of starch into sugar. The proteases convert an inert β-amylase to the dynamic frame. The dynamic β-amylase and α-amylase together process starch to glucose which is prepared to meet the metabolic requests of developing life. 

So, the correct option is 'Gibberellin'.

During which of the following stages of seed development, the production and storage of energy in mitochondria increases?

  1. Seed germination

  2. Dormant seed

  3. Development of seeds

  4. Seed formation

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Seed germination is a vitality requesting process that requires. while the mitochondrial mass increments amid interphase. It is suggested that the biogenesis of mitochondria amid germination begins from the advancement. 
Thus, the correct option is 'Seed germination.'

When dry seeds are placed in wet soil 

biology life within the seed developmental journey of seed introduction to plant organs and germination seed to plants

  1. They absorb water

  2. They increase in size

  3. The hard seed coats get ruptured

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When dry seeds are placed in wet soil they absorb water and increase in size because of this the hard seed coats get ruptured and process of germination of seed takes place.
