The Seed Is Surrounded By An Encasing

Decent Essays

Background Research
The seed is surrounded by an encasing that protects the internal embryo from the external elements such as parasites and the weather while the seed is in the resting stage (also known as dormancy).The dormancy stage occurs before germination. Finally, germination occurs when the embryo resumes growth by bursting through the encasing. Germination can only occur under specific conditions involving sunlight, water, oxygen and the right temperature. The length of germination varies depending on the seed and species. However, the process can be sped up or slowed down through various methods since germination occurs only with the addition of water or else the plant will die.
While the plants need the factors listed above in order to germinate, the plants and seeds also need a few other resources in order to continue growth. The plant will continue to need sunlight and water for photosynthesis (the method plants use to create food and energy). Minerals are also needed for the growth of development of the plant as they contain the right nutrients for the specific plant.
Although household bleach -- including Clorox brand bleach -- works well for many cleaning tasks. The toxicity of bleach is such that it is often used as a disinfectant, and microorganisms have not developed resistance. It can be found it practically every home due to this reason. However, once the bleach makes its way outside, some undesirable effects might occur. For example, the plants may
