Rice Malze Wheat Millet Sorghum 05 cereal crops provide 60% of the food energy taken in by the world's human population. Five cereal crops provide 60 percent of the food energy taken in by the world's human population. As shown in the image, these cereals (grains) are rice, maize, wheat, millet, and sorghum. The portion of these crops consumed by humans is actually the seed with its protective coverings from the fruit. These crops are O bryophytes O angiosperms O fems O gymnosperms
Phytochrome, plays an important role in flowering in many plants.  It can also be used to determine when lettuce seeds germinate (shown in the figure below What is phytochrome likely doing in the lettuce seeds?       Activating abscisic acid production     Activating inhibitors of germination     Inhibiting gibberellin synthesis     Turning on germination-related genes
