    The Condition For Seed Germination (A)

    Seeds require three conditions to germinate: 1) Water - Seeds placed in water (Test Tube A) germinated while those without water (Test Tube B) did not. 2) Air - Seeds submerged in deoxygenated water (Test Tube C) failed to germinate due to lack of air. 3) Suitable temperature - Seeds placed in the refrigerator (Test Tube D) and cupboard (Test Tube E), which have unsuitable temperatures, did not germinate unlike those in the laboratory (Test Tube A).

    Water, air and suitable temperature are required for seed germination.

    Water, air and suitable temperature.

    Cooled boiled water was used to prevent air from dissolving and oil was used to prevent air from entering the test tube, to test if air is required for germination.

    The condition for seed germination

    Aim: To determine the conditions required for the germination of seeds

    Problem statement: What conditions are required for a seed to germinate?

    Hypothesis: A seed will germinate only if there is air, water and suitable temperature.

    Variable:
    (a) Manipulated Variable: conditions for germination.
    (b) Responding Variable: Germination of seeds
    (c) Constant variable: Type of seeds

    Material and apparatus: Seeds, oil, cotton wool, cooled boiled water, labelling paper, test tubes,
    refrigerator, test tube rack

    Procedure:

    Kept in cupboard

    1 Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram.


    2 Place the test tubes labelled A, B and C in the laboratory , the test tube labelled D in the
    Refrigerator and test tube labelled E in the cupboard.
    3 Observe and record the germination of the seeds after five days.

    Second Day
    First day

    2. The radicle grows downwards

    1. The testa breaks, the radicle grows.

    Third day

    Fourth day

    3. The cotyledon is pushed upwards

    4. The plumule grows out from the cotyledon

    Fifth day

    5. The stem grows longer and the plumule forms green Leaves. The cotyledon becomes smaller
    and finally falls off.
    Discussion:
    1. The conditions required for the germination of seeds are water, air and suitable temperature.
    2. Test tube A acts as a control
    3. The following substances are used in test tube C because:
    a) The cooled boiled water is used because the cooled boiled water does not contain air.
    b) Oil is used to prevent air from dissolving in the cooled boiled water.
    4. In the dark the seeds will germinate because seeds do not require light for germination.
    Conclusion:
    The hypothesis is _accepted_.Water, air and suitable temperature are required for the germination of
    seeds.
