Explain the expected observations from both the jars.

Answer 1

• The seeds in jar A receive adequate light, water from the moist cloth, and air to sprout.
• The seeds in jar B receive the same amount of air and sunlight as the seeds in jar A, but there is no water.
• Water is essential for seeds to soften, swell up, and sprout.
• Therefore, seeds in jar A will sprout in a few days.
