Answer:b

Explanation:some seeds do not germinate during adverse conditions.this is called dormancy.this may occur due to hard seed coat.this seed coat prevents the entry of water and oxygen which are necessary for the plant to grow and germinate.

Water is a nessesary medium for essential metabolic reactions in the seed.the temperature at which is seed would germinate also varies.

Oxygen is needed for a germinating plant to obtain energy through respiration. The seed coat may also be so tough that they resist growth and expansion from taking place.

Seeds are able to break dormancy on their own.some may need to undergo natural processes that lead to softening.this process may be slow.some others may need heat or certain nutrients.

Germination of seed occurs when the dormant plant has taken in water and oxygen to show high metabolic activities leading to the formation of a seedling.

What is the orientation of the magnetic stripes of iron contained in rocks that support the idea of seafloor spreading?
Feliz [49]

The answer is; north and south

When magma rises in the divergent boundary, as new crust is formed, the iron minerals in the magma align themselves with the earth’s magnetic field before the magma cools to rock. Iron minerals have a ferromagnetic property about them. This is why the rocks layers in the sea floor spreading have bands. As the earth’s magnetic field flips regularly, the iron elements also change alignment in tandem.

How is an elephant large?
katrin [286]

The biggest terrestrial mammals on Earth are African elephants. Their wider ears, which resemble the continent of Africa somewhat, help to distinguish them from their Asian kin. (Elephants in Asia have more compact, rounder ears.)

<h3>What are the large species of elephant?</h3>

Scientists have discovered that there are actually two species of African elephants, despite the fact that they were previously considered to be a single species. Both of these species are endangered.

While forest elephants are smaller creatures that dwell in the woods of Central and West Africa, savanna elephants are larger creatures that wander the plains of sub-Saharan Africa. Savanna elephants are classified as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, whereas forest elephants are classified as severely endangered.

An accident victim was unable to maintain a normal blood ph. which organs were likely damaged?
Kobotan [32]
Answer: Kidney and lungs
When body pH become acidosis or alkalosis the first two organs that will be influenced is kidney and lungs. The body pH can alter your breathing frequency as carbon dioxide is making the pH more acidic. Acidic pH will make your breath faster so you can dump carbon dioxide faster. Acidic pH will also make your urine more acidic since the excess Hydrogen is dumped into the urine.
