Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.

A dry pea seed will have more dry weight than a germinated one.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The dry seeds of the pea have more dry weight as all the moisture in the seeds got absorbed and becomes hard due to the loss of water.

In the germinated seed, more water is present so its fresh weight will be higher than the dry seed. Fresh weight is the weight of the living part of the plant while dry weight is the weight of the dry plant part.

So, the correct statement is 'True'.
