Fermentation
D
Respiration
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The problem is asking about the process related to the growth of a pine tree seed into a new tree.
Identify the key term: The process of a seed beginning to grow into a new plant is known as 'germination'.
Clarify the concept: Germination is the process by which a seed develops into a new plant. It involves the seed absorbing water, swelling, and breaking through its outer shell to form a seedling.
Differentiate from other processes: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol. Respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules to release energy.
Conclude with relevance: Germination is the initial step in the life cycle of a plant, leading to the development of a seedling that can eventually grow into a mature tree.
