Oxygen is required by the germinating seed for metabolism. Oxygen is used in aerobic respiration, the main source of the seedling's energy until it grows leaves
The correct answer is:
C. The production of energy by oxidising essential carbohydrate
Explanation:
During germination, the seed requires energy to grow and develop. This energy is produced through cellular respiration, a process that uses oxygen to oxidize stored carbohydrates (such as starch) into simpler molecules like glucose. This oxidation releases energy in the form of ATP, which powers various metabolic activities necessary for germination.
