Answer: Water inside the seed coat creating a pushing force, breaking the seed coat.

Explanation:

Seed germination can be defined as the process by which a new plant emerge out from a seed. The radicle is the first emerging part from a seed and it develops into a root and the plumule is the second emerging part and it develops into a shoot. The light, water, adequate temperature, and soil are the factors that are necessary for seed germination.

According to a given situation, the popcorn kernel will receive the moisture necessary for the germination process, the water will imbibe into the seed coat creating pressure inside the seed and which will cause the seed coat to break and the new plant parts or seedling will emerge out of the seed coat.

____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
