Q7. Which of the following exhibits the highest rate of respiration?

  1. Growing shoot apex.
  2. Germinating seed.
  3. Root tip.
  4. Leaf bud.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 2. Germinating seed.

Explanation:
Germinating seeds have the highest rate of respiration. As soon as the water is imbibed by seeds, hydrolytic enzymes come into
action and mobilize the reserve food materials so the seeds show high metabolic activity and germinate into a tiny plant. All these
activities require energy, which is derived from increased rate of respiration.
