can germinating seed photosynthesize as equal rates as leaves
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. In addition, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the growth of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination. Temperature affects cellular metabolic and growth rates. 2  Seeds from different species and even seeds from the same plant germinate over a wide range of temperatures. 3  Seeds often have a temperature range within which they will germinate, and they will not do so above or below this range.
