Question

Before setting up an experiment to show that the seeds release Co2 during respiration the seeds should

a. dried completely b. kept moist tillthey germinate c. soaked in vinegar d. boiled to make soft

Answer 1

The right option is b) kept moist till they germinate
​When the seeds are dry they are dormant. In the state of dormancy, seeds do not respire actively. But when seeds are kept moist, they absorb water and start germinating and respire actively to produce CO₂.
