MEASURMENTS








1-Measuments


Longest Root: 2 mm


Longest Shoot: 15 mm




2-The part of the plant that grew first is the root because there is not enough food in a seed to do any more than germinate it, so the root is sent out first to anchor it and then supply nutrients to allow the plant to grow.




3-yes there is a change in the size of the garlic. It became bigger since its supporting the roots and the shoots so its need to get bigger so it can handle them and not break apart.




4- Germination is the process in which a seed or spore emerges from a period of dormancy. And since all the nutrients the garlic need to grow is inside the seed it self, thats why we eat it. it just now needs some external conditions to grow in a healthy way. which are temperature, water, and oxygen and maybe light. light is not important since there is no leaves. However, i am providing for my plant oxygen and the right temperature (room temperature) and water.

  1. You cannot cut and paste from wiki or other source. you may include them as a link of reference, but you CANNOT cut and paste them. You have to rewrite the concept in your own words. The question isn't 'what is germination' rather ' what do plants need to germinate'
