Question: _______ Sugar found in germinating seed in large amount.
Options:
Maltose
Sucrose
Cellobiase
Lactose
✅Explanation: During seed germination, complex carbohydrates stored in the seed, such as starch, are broken down into simpler sugars to provide energy for the growing embryo. Maltose is a disaccharide (composed of two glucose units) that is a major product of starch breakdown. Thus, it is found in large amounts in germinating seeds.
