Germinating seeds produce more carbon dioxide because the process of germination involves the breakdown of stored food reserves in the seed through respiration. This metabolic activity requires oxygen and generates carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Dry seeds do not undergo active metabolic processes, so they do not produce as much carbon dioxide.

What do plants produce at the end of anaerobic respiration?
Plants produce ethanol at the end of anaerobic respiration, also known as fermentation. This process helps plants generate energy in the absence of oxygen by breaking down sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
What gas is being taken up when the marker on the inside arm of a respirometer moves toward a tube that contains germinating seeds?
Oxygen is being taken up by the germinating seeds in the respirometer. As the seeds undergo cellular respiration, they consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, causing the volume of gas in the respirometer to decrease and the marker to move.
The effect of germination versus nongermination on pea seed respiration?
During germination, a seed's respiration rate increases as it activates metabolic processes to support growth. In contrast, non-germinating seeds have a lower respiration rate as they are in a dormant state. As germination progresses, the respiration rate of the seed will continue to rise to meet the demands of growth.
What two things do plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. They also produce fruits, which contain seeds for reproduction and dispersion.
Why are germinating seeds?
Because to stay alive
Why do germinated seeds produce carbon dioxide?
Because dry seeds have a very low metabolic rate and do not produce much Co2. Germinating seeds produce more Co2.

What does produce?
carbon dioxide :)
Why dry gram seeds are not used in the experimment to show that carbon dioxide is released during respiration?
Dry seeds have less metabollical rate.So they do not produce significant amount of CO2.
Is carbon dioxide required by seeds?
Most seeds are not photosynthetic. So they do not need
Why are germinating seeds?
Because to stay alive
What is The hormone that keeps seeds from germinating?
abscisic acid
Do seeds germinating in water produce oxygen?
In my opinion seeds do not need CO2 to germinate. All they need is water, oxygen, and the right temperature. That is generally correct. Remember that most seeds carry some stored food with them, so they can grow for a while without making new food. Carbon dioxide is only useful for plants when they have enough light to turn the carbon dioxide into food and if they have enough food to make it possible for them to germinate already, they don't yet need carbon dioxide. Later on when they have made some green leaves or other parts that can use the carbon dioxide to supply what they need for growing, then they can use the carbon dioxide; in fact, without the carbon dioxide and light a plant would stop growing and it would die; it would starve to death. Some plants have big seeds with huge food stores so that they can germinate fast and grow quite big before they need the carbon dioxide and light. That is the sort of seed one finds in many kinds of forest trees, such as oak trees and avocado pears. Most kinds of grass or dandelions grow out in the open, so they have little seeds because they don't have to grow long before they will be enough light for them to use the carbon dioxide.
