Open in App
Solution

Aim: To prove that a suitable temperature is necessary for germination. ​

Materials Required: ​
1. Beakers (2)​
2. Cotton wool (wet) ​
3. Refrigerator ​

Procedure:
  • Label two beakers A and B​
  • In each of the beakers, place a few gram seeds on wet cotton wool.​
  • Place beaker A at ordinary room temperature and beaker B in the refrigerator.​
Observations: ​
  • On day one or two, the seeds in beaker A germinate showing the importance of suitable temperature for germination.​
  • No signs of germination are observed in beaker B, they may germinate in a few days, though not as much as that in beaker A. ​
  • Hence, we can conclude that for the germination of seeds, temperature plays a key role. A suitable temperature is required for seed germination. ​
