Question

Why is germination an irreversible change?

Answer 1

Irreversible changes

• Irreversible changes are the changes in which changes are once done, and cannot be reversed.
• New substance is formed after the process of these changes.
• For example, the Formation of curd from milk, the Germination of seed into a seedling, etc are irreversible changes.

Germination of seeds

• It is an irreversible change because once the seed is germinated into a seedling cannot be reversed into seed again.
• This seedling in turn converts into plants which sustain like on our planet by giving food and oxygen to other plants.

Hence, germination is an irreversible change.
