A) osmosis
B) active transport
C) absorption
D) imbibitions
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Water is absorbed by germinating seeds through the process of imbibition and help in rupturing of seed coat. Imbibition is the process of absorption of water by hydrophilic surfaces of a substance without forming a solution. It is a type of diffusion by which movement of water takes place along a diffusion gradient. During the process of imbibition volume of imbabant is changed, heat is produced and imbibitional pressure is developed.
