Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Heat
In germinating seeds, imbibition takes place. During germination, the respiration rate of seed is very high which releases very high amount of energy. About 30% to 40% of energy is converted into ATP and utilize by the plant for its growth and rest is evolved in the form of heat.
Therefore, kinetic energy is released in the form of heat (heat of wetting).
