Question

Growth of a seedling into a plant is a physical change.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Physical change:

• When a substance may undergo a change in some of its physical properties like colour, size, or shape, but does not undergo any change in its chemical composition is known as physical change.
• Growth of seedling is a chemical change because when seeds grow it converts into plantlet and finally into the plant. It is not possible that we will bring back the plant into seed. Thus it is a chemical change.
• The composition of seed and plant is entirely different.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
