Plant Growth and Germination Concepts

The video explains the structure and potential of seeds, detailing the germination process where seeds absorb water and warmth to grow roots. It describes how the seed uses stored food for energy until the shoot emerges, and leaves unfold to perform photosynthesis, allowing the young plant to grow independently.

What are the three main components of a seed?

• Seed coat, embryo, and stored food

• Soil, water, and sunlight

• Root, stem, and leaves

• Flower, fruit, and seed

What triggers the process of germination in a seed?

• Exposure to sunlight

• Presence of insects

• Receiving water and warmth

• Being planted in soil

During germination, what is the first part of the plant to emerge?

• The shoot

• The flower

• The leaves

• The root

What role do root hairs play during germination?

• They store energy for the plant

• They produce food through photosynthesis

• They help absorb more water

• They protect the seed

How do leaves contribute to the growth of a young plant?

• By protecting the plant from pests

• By taking in sunlight and making food

• By absorbing water from the soil

• By storing food for later use
