    Study Notes

    Pressure Units

    • The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
    • The unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of standard atmospheric pressure is the Torr.
    • Gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure, often considered zero reference.
    • The traditional measure of pressure in imperial and US customary systems is pounds per square inch (psi).
    • Pressure can also be expressed in terms of the height of a fluid column in a manometer, commonly using the millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

    Seed Germination

    • Germination in seed plants results in the growth of new plant structures, specifically roots and shoots.
    • The process of reactivating the metabolic machinery of the seed leading to the emergence of the radicle (root) and plumule (shoot) is called germination.
    • Fully developed seeds of most plant species contain a complete embryo, stored nutrients, and a protective seed coat.
    • The term germination applies primarily to seed plants, including angiosperms and gymnosperms.
    • Empty seeds that never germinate are termed non-viable seeds.
