You are running an experiment to study seed germination and accidentally left a dish of seeds covered with a little water in a totally dark room. When you return a few days later, you notice that the seeds have sprouted long roots and long shoots. What was the source of most of the matter that makes up these roots and shoots?A. oxygen in the airB. carbon dioxide in the airC. water in the dishD. glucose in the seed

D. glucose in the seed

Explanation:

Plants generally make their food through the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water and produces oxygen and carbohydrate.

But due to the absence of sunlight, plant will be unable to use carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis and oxygen is a by-product.

So the reason of seed germination is the presence of glucose in the seed. Seeds generally germinate through the process of inhibition, that require uptake of water. Glucose works as energy source in humans and plants as well. sugar or glucose allow the seed to utilize the water and help foster its growth.

Hence, the correct option is D. glucose in the seed.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
