Seeds no matter what size are packages of genetic material and energy that are living in the same way the plant that they came from is/was living. the seeds continue to be living until they start growing. Some plant seeds from some plants and trees can remain viable for 100's of years. That is they can fall from the tree and remain in the soil for a hundred years until the conditions are correct for it to start growing. the correct conditions act like a trigger and then bam, the energy in the seed is released as roots and leaves and then it start absorbing energy from its surroundings. So the answer is seeds get there energy from the parent plant. seeds are a package of genetic material and certain nutrients necesary for the roots and leaves to grow. moisture is often the trigger.

∙ 14y agoGenerally the seed is provided with an energy or food packet by the parent plant, which in flowering plants is called an endosperm. However some plants, such as some orchid seeds are so small that they include no endosperm and they must form a symbiotic relationship with a fungus which provides energy for the seed. Again, it is a little bit different in gymnosperms, but the overall principle is the same, the parent plant provides the seed with nutrition.

What is to begin to develop from a seed?
When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
What part of the plant protects the seed?
ovula
Whether a seed without an embryo could germinate?
During seed germination embryo in a seed grows. As a result a small seedling comes out of the seed.
Does a seed need air to grow?
Yes, seeds require oxygen to germinate and grow. Oxygen is necessary for the process of respiration, which provides energy for the seed to break dormancy and start growing. Without sufficient oxygen, the seed may not be able to germinate.
Seed need sunshine to start growing?
Seeds need sunlight to trigger the process of germination, where they start growing into a seedling. Sunlight provides energy for photosynthesis, allowing the seedling to produce its own food and grow. Without sunlight, seeds may not germinate or may grow weak and leggy as they search for light.
What is to begin to develop from a seed?
When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
How many cotyledon of santol seed?
Santol seeds usually contain two cotyledons when they germinate. These cotyledons are the seed leaves that provide nutrients to the emerging seedling until it can produce its own energy through photosynthesis.
When do sunflower seed germinate?
in late spring,sunflower seed will germinate
Do you seed and fertilize or fertilize and seed?
You should seed, wait for the seed to germinate, and then apply your fertiliser. Some fertilisers also contain weed killer which will prevent grass seed germinating.
Can a mongo seed will germinate if it is coated with pomade?
A mango seed will not germinate if it is coated with pomade. This will prevent the seed from germinating and growing.
How much water do you need to germinate a seed?
you need one cup of water to germinate a seed
Why doesn't a seed need sunlight to germinate?
Seeds do not need sunlight to germinate because they already contain all the nutrients and energy they need to start growing. The process of germination typically begins when a seed absorbs water, which activates enzymes within the seed that kickstart growth. Sunlight becomes necessary only once the seed has sprouted and the seedling starts photosynthesizing to produce its own energy.
What part of the plant protects the seed?
ovula
Whether a seed without an embryo could germinate?
During seed germination embryo in a seed grows. As a result a small seedling comes out of the seed.
How a seed obtains energy during germination?
endosperm provides the seed with the energy to grow as it is the seeds source of food.
Is sunlight needed to germinate a Lima bean seed?
No, because sunlight can not reach a seed when it is in the soil, but plants still germinate.
Why seed cannot germinate without water?
Water triggers the enzymatic activities in the seed. Therefore, in the absence of water seed will not germinate for want of enzymatic activities.
