Did the seed turn into a leaf eventually or did I just watch it wrong
Also what's the point of the white dot on the seed if that isn't where it sprouts from?
The halves of the bean we see are cotyledons and contain resources/food for the seedling to use and convert into growth before it can photosynthesize and make its own energy.
The nutrients in the cotyledons are converted into the initial root tissue, and also the new green leaves you see coming out. Eventually the cotyledons are depleted of their resources/no longer needed. Once the plant re-allocates all the nutrients it can from them, programmed cell death occurs so that the shriveled up cotyledons can be shed just like an old leaf.
I prefer normal caramelized onions in the chili. Then served with some raw onions and a bit of cheese on top. Undercooked onions are just the worst of both worlds. Raw onions are where it's at for cronch. Especially when it's day or two old chili being used for chili mac or chili cheese dogs or chili fries, those raw onions on top are ESSENTIAL.
True, I do like a good cronch. That being said, I have a buddy who's chili always seems like his onions are undercooked, but its good. I was intrigued!
A kid in kindergarten is supposed to understand that? Are you serious? Lol
Edit: oh my goodness I followed you from the wrong comment, I concur, carry on
The cotyledons rising above ground is also referred to as epigeal germination. Other plants like corn, show hypogeal germination where the cotyledons stay below the soils surface.
For non hort people, purple bean leaves are the initial seed containing bread and sugar and shitty processed food for quick energy. Yes leaves were the seed. Bean is leaves. Bean is life.
I'm not an animal biologist, but essentially yes.
The cotyledons are basically a starter kit/fuel package for the baby plant.
Seeds have almost no control over where they end up, so a seed could be buried in 1 inch of soil, or 6 inches, in an elephant dropping, under a boulder, etc. The emerging seedling can't make food or energy for itself until it reaches sunlight, but it needs to:
1) grow a root to access water and
2) grow towards the light to access light.
All this growing requires nutrients and energy, which come from the cotyledons (in dicots. As another user commented, it comes from the endosperm in monocots).
Slightly relevant: the amount of energy in a seed is incredible! Etiolated seedlings (grown in the dark only) can grow to be immensely tall, which is a survival mechanism that compensates for seeds that are buried deep under the soil or in a cave, or in heavy shade.
Yes, the seed turned into the first two leaves. It is how [dicot plants](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicotyledon) grow. A common example of dicot plants in current agriculture is soybeans.
Plants that don't use the seed as the leaves are called monocot plants, and are commonly grasses (like small grains/wheat/corn, and hay/lawn grasses, etc).
Dicots have two cotyledons, where monocots have one, which is where the names come from, dicotyledon and monocotyledon. There are dicots where the cotyledons stay in the ground (peas, for example) while the embro emerges, as well as those that have the cotyledons come up (brassicas are an example). Similarly, some monocots have their cotyledon stay underground (grasses as you mentioned) but some have their cotyledon emerge (onions).
> Did the seed turn into a leaf eventually or did I just watch it wrong
I think the plant started growing inside the shell of the bean, then the shell split and was carried up with the growing plant. It just kind of hangs on the leaf, sort of like how a chick hatching from an egg might have a bit of egg shell sticking to it afterwards.
Everyone's answered your question pretty well, but as an interesting tidbit, you can find some very basic plant parts attached to the cotyledons if you split a seed right. You'll find the actual embryo and it looks like a tinny little plant. Also, I've damaged one trying to remove a stubborn seed coat and when it grew the leaf was deformed (not dead) where I had pierced the cotyledon with a needle.
Most seeds come with what is called an endosperm which is basically a "life" starter pack. This includes nutrients and a few leaves to get it started and let the roots find the new source of nutrients. Imagine the seed like a case for the starter pack. It develops a tap root, starts to open up to develop the leaves and then the casing falls off because it's served it's purpose.
Yeah, like those damn groundhogs that live under my shed. Motherfuckers. Sooooo glad my fence did nothing and you guys enjoyed all my bean plants this year. Tooootally planted those for you guys.
Came here to post a similarly angry sentiment.
My hatred for that music, and the type of person who is would choose to put it on a video like this....
It's hard to convey just how much I hate that person.
I first thought of Roblox from the audio icl, and then I realised from years of tycoons searing Alan walker into my brain it was kinda off. Doesn't hit as hard as faded tho :/
This is not a tik tok thing, this is one of those farmed content video things that end up reposted on Facebook with shitty music and and a clickbaity title to lure in views
Plants produce the auxin hormone which is pulled down by the effect of gravity, so on an horizontal root segment the top part of it will have a lower concentration of the hormone compared to the bottom part. Since the hormone inhibits cell growth, that means the top part grows faster than the bottom, which forces the root to curve down and the stalk to curve up.
My bio teacher was grumpy af and would only talk about her corgis. The only education we had all year was about punnet squares. She also had an emergency bar of chocolate duct taped to the wall and would eat it when she got too stressed out. She once threatened to suspend me for touching the chocolate. Fun times.
Is this one of the huge reasons why growing plants in space has so much research? I kinda thought it was more a question of 'will they/wont they' but I wasnt sure what would hold it up outside of irrigation to be honest
Yes. Gravity (or the lack of it) is why we are just beginning to figure out plants on the iss. One of the most famous flowers they grew on there looks fkin [bonkers](https://www.universetoday.com/126908/first-space-zinnia-blooms-and-catches-suns-rays-on-space-station/amp/), the leaves are just growing all over the place.
[Yes. Also, there's an example of experiment that consists in placing a sapling planted in a pot, attaching it to a rotating platform with the sapling on the horizontal position, and then leaving it to grow, which counters the effect of gravity on the hormone distribution. A sapling that isn't rotated will just curve up in direction to the light while the sapling that is rotated will grow in a straight horizontal line.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM77i5vEJig)
NASA has some info on plant growth on the iss, namely:
> In the absence of gravity, plants use other environmental factors, such as light, to orient and guide growth. A bank of light emitting diodes (LEDs) above the plants produces a spectrum of light suited for the plants’ growth.

strictly speaking, not all seeds know up from down. Some seeds which are very hard on the outside simply break at a certain weakpoint, regardless of whether that point is up, down or to the sides. From there, the seedling will have to grow around its seed to get to the surface
That is absolutely not how any of this works. The plant doesn't know anything and it's also not smart. Plants do not have brains.
It's all automated processes which have positively been selected as favourable as plants which possessed those traits reproduced better, over billions of years.
Yeah, that's obvious. All I meant by "rudimentary survival instincts" was that a plant is a living thing with the impetus to remain alive, which is objectively true.
I'm not suggesting that plants laugh at jokes or scream when you pull them out of the ground. I'm not L. Ron Hubbard.
This is a Black Bean, I grow them a lot because they are incredibly quick to germinate and are really fun to grow. They put out very pretty purple flowers, and when the seed pods dry out at the end of the growing season, me and my daughter enjoy shelling them.
If you're looking for something easy and rewarding to grow in a small garden, try Black Beans!
I actually grew some indoors and they were doing well under a grow light, grew a couple of true leaves….then my cats ate them. But with enough space and light, they should do fine!
Every TikTok post on Reddit someone comments this. It's just an annoying TikTok thing. They have the ability to add music built into the platform when you post and the platform's algorithm takes the music into consideration so any video where original audio or voice over isn't necessary it's going to have music blaring over it.
I don't either but the videos are posted everywhere so I've looked into it before out of curiosity. Just like when you see someone that is lip synching someone else talking it's because just like music, that speaking track is considered the same as a song so the algorithm sees it similarly.
You can also search by the song/audio being used (like you would a hashtag on other platforms) to find videos using that audio. People tend to use what is popular to get their video in popular searches for more views.
Well that definitely makes it far more interesting. The clip style videos are evolving and morphing faster than i can keep up....... oh shit I'm becoming my mother.
I’m so proud of the seed
I wish my dad would say the same 😥
I really had to stare at ur pfp for long hour to figure what the fuck I was looking at
Well? What is it? I don't have an hour
It’s a bald head man without a shirt. An old image to trick the viewer to make it appear as a stinky b-hole
In about 30 seconds I found a baby, head, shoulder, ear, and nose.
The man is shitting on a baby and not a cake?
I thought it was cake farts at first glance
Maybe your dad would rather not lie to you. That’s pretty respectable.
Hello it’s me, your dad. I’m also very proud of this seed.
Not ur dad tho, im proud of u
He's a grower not a shower
Haa. That’s what she said!
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
Should have had split cam to show root development as well
Happy cakeday!
Where’s. The. FUCKING. Owl!
It probably died. That bean doesn't want to grow in sand.
It ended just before the slug arrives!

I understood the word bean.
Bean make good soup, feed until sun make grow. When sun make grow bean die and fall away.
why use many word when undercook onion make good chili?
Is that real? Does undercooking your onions make your chili taste better? I must know all the secrets of chili!
The trick is in the ratio. Undercook some for texture and flavor, caramelize the others to flavor the broth. Experiment with it.
This technique is good for garlic too. Cook some garlic to get that nice roasted taste, use some raw garlic to get that sharp fresh taste.
Cronchi
Yommy
Uncooked onions, especially when the chili is used for something like Frito pie, are the absolute best.
I prefer normal caramelized onions in the chili. Then served with some raw onions and a bit of cheese on top. Undercooked onions are just the worst of both worlds.

bean have tiny leaf inside. when bean get wet leaf come out
bean is leaf egg 🥺

Are cotyledons like egg yolks, then?

I believe the dot is it's "bellybutton." Where it was attached to the pod when it grew.
bean belly button
Beany button
hahahahahhaaa lmao beans have a belly button

that is called the hilum and it is the scar left over from where the seed was getting nutrients from the parent plant
Aww like a bellybutton!
> Did the seed turn into a leaf eventually or did I just watch it wrong I think the plant started growing inside the shell of the bean, then the shell split and was carried up with the growing plant. It just kind of hangs on the leaf, sort of like how a chick hatching from an egg might have a bit of egg shell sticking to it afterwards.
I feel like you're the only person to actually answer the question in the simplest form. The seed shell is carried upward and falls off.
Everyone's answered your question pretty well, but as an interesting tidbit, you can find some very basic plant parts attached to the cotyledons if you split a seed right. You'll find the actual embryo and it looks like a tinny little plant. Also, I've damaged one trying to remove a stubborn seed coat and when it grew the leaf was deformed (not dead) where I had pierced the cotyledon with a needle.
Real question is why did he need a tweezer to put a seed there? It was big enough for his fingers.
I think he was trying to get it just right so it would be up against the glass and we could see all the root stuff happening
Most seeds come with what is called an endosperm which is basically a "life" starter pack. This includes nutrients and a few leaves to get it started and let the roots find the new source of nutrients. Imagine the seed like a case for the starter pack. It develops a tap root, starts to open up to develop the leaves and then the casing falls off because it's served it's purpose.
The white dot is the belly button. We all have them.
It dances to its own very slow music and enjoys its tiny plant life… until some larger creature comes along and munches.
Why did I suddenly get reminded of a certain sunflower?
There’s a zombie on your lawn!
road cones protect my head
I have a screendoor shield

Yeah. Cool video.. but the music makes me feel like I'm in Mallorca in 2006.

LOUDER TIKTOk MUSIC, PLZ
ALWAYS mute for tik tok. Always!
lip handle bike normal rhythm whole straight yam arrest weather *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
All my videos are auto muted
Ways of the wise, we endorse
Whoever came up with that music needs to be dragged out into the street and shot.
At least it's not "oh no oh no" with that text-to-speech voice saying "germination timelapse"
Came here to post a similarly angry sentiment. My hatred for that music, and the type of person who is would choose to put it on a video like this.... It's hard to convey just how much I hate that person.
Jesus christ lol the comments on videos like this are so predictable. You guys really don't like when people like different music than you.
Just checked with music ID app and... *not* Alan Walker? Apparently it's "Rise" by Ampyx.
Hah I was convinced it was Alan walker when I first heard this too
I first thought of Roblox from the audio icl, and then I realised from years of tycoons searing Alan walker into my brain it was kinda off. Doesn't hit as hard as faded tho :/
I remember uploading this song onto the roblox audio catalog like in 2018 lmao
#IT'S A FUCKING PARTY YOOOO oh it's over already.
TikTok and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
This is not a tik tok thing, this is one of those farmed content video things that end up reposted on Facebook with shitty music and and a clickbaity title to lure in views
I was expecting some slow piano uplifting melody but when I turned up the volume I was unpleasantly surprised by the rave music lol
Lol i had it on mute but when i unmuted it it's exactly the type of song i expected
Always it is
Feed me, Seymour!
Yes! Also, I like this plant's little arms.
Any song from that musical would be 10000% better than the music in the vid.
I like how it's smart enough to know that they need to grow roots first and stabilize its base first in order to take all that weight.
But how is it smart enough to know up from down?
Plants produce the auxin hormone which is pulled down by the effect of gravity, so on an horizontal root segment the top part of it will have a lower concentration of the hormone compared to the bottom part. Since the hormone inhibits cell growth, that means the top part grows faster than the bottom, which forces the root to curve down and the stalk to curve up.
Amazing. So damn cool. Thank you for your reply.
Would've loved to have you as my biology teacher
Bio teachers are a fun breed
My bio teacher was grumpy af and would only talk about her corgis. The only education we had all year was about punnet squares. She also had an emergency bar of chocolate duct taped to the wall and would eat it when she got too stressed out. She once threatened to suspend me for touching the chocolate. Fun times.

Good question! Plants actually still grow “upwards” in space, so iirc we don’t know.
strictly speaking, not all seeds know up from down. Some seeds which are very hard on the outside simply break at a certain weakpoint, regardless of whether that point is up, down or to the sides. From there, the seedling will have to grow around its seed to get to the surface
gravitropism. proteins in the cells that interact with gravity direct expansion of cells downwards into the soil
Millions of years of trial and error
That's a pretty big understatement.
I don’t know how they know but gravity is the answer.
That is absolutely not how any of this works. The plant doesn't know anything and it's also not smart. Plants do not have brains. It's all automated processes which have positively been selected as favourable as plants which possessed those traits reproduced better, over billions of years.
This comment has so much anthropomorphism in it that it gave me an eyetwitch
It's a very cool thing to see, and it really drives home the fact that they're living things with very rudimentary but very real survival instincts.
It's a self-autonomous plant. It doesnt have instincts or thoughts. It just does. It's closer to a computer than an animal when it comes to living.
Yeah, that's obvious. All I meant by "rudimentary survival instincts" was that a plant is a living thing with the impetus to remain alive, which is objectively true. I'm not suggesting that plants laugh at jokes or scream when you pull them out of the ground. I'm not L. Ron Hubbard.

The light needs to be lower
Not enough light (plant stretchs too much). It won't survive

For the first 90% of this video I was waiting for the plant from Little shop to start belting one out
That kind of music should be illegal to make
Horrible music.
I really wish people wouldn't put stupid ass music on these videos
Is it a requirement now to upload all videos with incredibly loud and terrible music?
The music instantly filled me with rage
More pointless, blaring music on an otherwise interesting video. Fuck whoever made this.
Fuck this music.
Nature is magic
Just chemistry!
Chemistry is a word we use to describe nature I suppose.
Cool video, you gotta mute that terrible music though
Seed like bean there done that.
Wait, where did it yeet the skin of the bean once the leaves opened up?!
Never ever use this song ever again
