The Journey of a Seed From Germination to Growth

The video explains the process of seed germination, starting with the seed containing an embryo. It outlines the conditions necessary for growth, such as moisture, warmth, nutrient-rich soil, sunlight, and good quality seeds. Once these conditions are met, the seed absorbs water, activating enzymes and nourishing the embryo. The first sign of growth is a tiny root, followed by the shoot growing upwards. The process of photosynthesis begins as the plant seeks sunlight, and the seed coat falls off, allowing the root to anchor and the shoot to grow, resulting in a baby plant.

What is the small baby plant inside a seed called?

• Leaf

• Shoot

• Root

• Embryo

Which of the following is NOT a condition required for seed growth?

• Sunlight

• Nutrient-rich soil

• Cold temperature

• Moisture

What is the first sign of growth in a germinating seed?

• A tiny shoot

• A flower bud

• A tiny root

• A small leaf

What role do enzymes play during the initial stages of germination?

• They provide sunlight

• They activate the embryo

• They absorb water

• They duplicate plant cells

In which direction does the root grow after the seed coat falls off?

• Downwards to anchor the seed

• Sideways

• Upwards towards the light

• In a circular motion

What process begins once the plant starts growing towards the light?

• Germination

• Photosynthesis

• Transpiration

• Respiration
