Question

As a seed germinates, the dormant embryo begins 
 activity and starts the process of development.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

This fill-in-the-blank item centers on what activates as a seed begins to germinate. The statement says: 'As a seed germinates, the dormant embryo begins ____ activity and starts the process of development.'

Since germination involves restoring cellular processes, metabolism must resume. Metabolic activity refers to all the biochemical reactions that provide energy, synthesize new biomolecules, and support growth. When seeds take up water (imbibition) and enzymes are activated, respiration and other metabolic pathways kick in to fuel cell division and elongation, enabling the embryo to transition from dormancy to development.

If we consider what could fill the blank, any term expressing a form of activity tied to living processes would be plausible in this context. However, the most accurate descriptor for what initiates and sustains germination is metabolism, because without metabolic activity, energy production and biosynthesis cannot proceed to drive growth.

There are no additional answer options provided beyond the placeholder, so there is nothing to contrast against in order to identify incorrect alternatives. In the absence of other choices, the core idea remains that metabolic activity is the key process reactivating the embryo during germination.

As a seed germinates, the dormant embryo begins activity and starts the process of development.
