  • Wheat seeds are living organisms
  • Wheat seeds do not display most characteristics of living organisms, but they do respire
  • The respiration of wheat seeds can be observed by placing your hand in a bag of seeds, you will feel warmth from the heat energy produced by the respiration process
  • Respiration continues in dry, stored seeds, even though other life processes aren't observable
  • Wheat seeds will germinate if placed in soil and watered, and will grow into a new plant
