Examples of water absorption

water absorption
The scaling of waterabsorption necessary for germination was also studied using actual seeds of 14 species representing a range of seed sizes.
Relationships between waterabsorption and seed size are more complicated because the shapes of seeds differ among species.
For waterabsorption, contact between seed and substrate is necessary.
The above arguments indicate a double advantage of small seeds relative to large seeds in waterabsorption on soil surfaces.
On fine soil, the mean waterabsorption of medium and large seeds was quite similar.
In a crack, the contact area of seed surface to substrate increases and results in the increase in waterabsorption rate.
For actual and analogue seeds, the scaling of waterabsorption was determined for seeds of different sizes.
To estimate waterabsorption from substrate to seed, three classes of artificial seeds were sown on three types of soil surfaces.
The availability o f light influences neither waterabsorption by the seeds, nor germination.
However, when water loss rate is comparable to the rate of waterabsorption, the scaling of water loss must be taken into account.
Moreover, small seeds can penetrate through small cracks in the soil surface and thus enjoy a double advantage in a microsite that promotes waterabsorption and minimizes desiccation.
The rate of waterabsorption by large seeds was the slowest, and the rate of waterabsorption by medium-sized seeds was intermediate between the two in coarse and medium soils.
Harder kernels require more energy to break down into flour thereby increasing the amount of damaged starch granules in the flour, influencing gas production and flour waterabsorption.
Waterabsorption by a seed was expressed as the percentage of water absorbed each time to the total amount of water absorbed in 24 h (at saturation).
These require that levels do not exceed the minium amounts technically unavoidable for waterabsorption during processing.
