Answer the following:
In the experiment, the moong beans are soaked overnight to allow them to germinate slightly, which causes them to produce carbon dioxide at a much higher rate than if they were dormant and dry.
i. What substance, originally made during photosynthesis, is being broken down with oxygen inside the germinating seeds to release all this energy?
i. What substance, originally made during photosynthesis, is being broken down with oxygen inside the germinating seeds to release all this energy?
ii. Why do germinating seeds have a much higher need for energy (and thus a higher respiration rate) compared to a dormant seed?
