SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! What is the role of enzymes in the process of germination?
\(\text{This answer does not belong to me.}\) A seed contains an embryo plant. it also contain a food store on which the embryo will rely while it is germinating, until it has grown leafs and can start to photosynthesise. For example bean seeds contains a lot of starch. Starch is insoluble. When the seeds begins to germinate, the enzymes amylase is secreted. This breaks the starch into maltose, which is soluble. The maltose can then be absorbed by the growing embryo, which can break it down to glucose. The seedling can then use it to supply energy for growth, and also to build up cellulose to make up cells walls for the new cells that are made as the seeding grows Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_enzymes_help_in_seed_germination#ixzz1vOBXLzft
