If you place bean seeds between moist paper towels and watch the stem leaves appear you will see a demonstration of?

  1. Condensation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Germination

  4. Photosynthesis

The correct answer is: Condensation

The demonstration that occurs when you place bean seeds between moist paper towels and observe the emergence of stem leaves is known as germination. This process involves the seed absorbing water and beginning to sprout and grow. Condensation refers to the process of water vapor turning into liquid, which is not relevant to this scenario. Evaporation is the opposite of condensation and refers to the process of liquid turning into water vapor. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to create their own food, and this process does not occur until after germination. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
