Here's the solution for question 6:
Question 6: During seed germination, the seed food reserves are mobilised towards the production of _____
Answer:
Explanation:
During seed germination, the stored food reserves (like starch, proteins, and lipids) within the seed are broken down into simpler molecules. These molecules are then transported to the growing parts of the embryo. The primary growing parts are the radicle (which develops into the root) and the plumule (which develops into the shoot, including the stem and leaves). These developing structures require energy and building materials to grow and establish the seedling. Therefore, the seed food reserves are mobilised towards the production and growth of the plumule and radicle. Among the given options, the plumule is the correct answer as it represents the developing shoot system.
