Germination Lab

During this experiment the process of germination was studied in beans. Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. During this process the seed will grow roots, stem, and leaves. As the water begins to saturate the bean the water will be absorbed and the bean coat ell become brittle and fall off allowing the beat to sprout a young root. From here the young toot will absorb water and minerals which will allow the bean to grow a stem and main roots. The stem will eventually grow leaves which through photosynthesis, will allow the plant to make its own food. Finally, the cotyledons will get smaller and fall off once the food inside them is used by the plant and the plant can sufficiently make its own food.
