Question 1

What is the first step of germination of mono?

Answer 1

Water is imbibed through micropyle

Question 2

What is the second step of germination of monos?

Answer 2

Developing embryo produces GIBBERELLIN

Question 3

What is the 3rd step

Answer 3

Gibberellin transported to aleurone layer

Question 4

What is the 4th step? What does this produce?

Answer 4

Only once the gibberellin reaches the aleurone layer does the transcription of DNA to mRNA get switched on

Question 5

What is the 5th step? To make what? Using what?

Answer 5

Translation of mRNA to make amylase using stored proteins in aleurone layer

Question 6

Where does amylase go? How?

Answer 6

Diffuses into endosperm

Question 7

What does the amylase do in where?

Answer 7

Catalyses the hydrolysis of starch to maltose in endosperm

Question 8

What is maltose broken down to? Where and where does it go?

Answer 8

Hydrolysed to alpha glucose in endosperm. Diffuses into embryo to be used as energy source for respiration

Seed swell and testa ruptures
Oxygen can enter

Question 11

What is the 3rd step?

Answer 11

Mobilisation of food reserves

Question 12

What does mobilisation mean?

Answer 12

Food stores are able to move around the seed

Question 13

What activates the enzymes?

Answer 13

Water

Question 14

What is starch converted to using what?

Answer 14

Maltose using amylase

Question 15

What are proteins broken into using what?

Amino acids using protease

Question 16

What are lipids broken down to using what?

Answer 16

Glycerol and fatty acids using lipase

Question 17

What are the small soluble molecules used for by the plant?

Answer 17

Used by plants for respiration and growth

Question 18

Which grows first radicle or plumule?

Answer 18

Radicle - root, to get more water
