In the school, we study anaerobic respiration by germinating seeds.
However, when we talk about seeds afterwards, we are told that oxygen, 
suitable temperature and water is a must for germination of seed.
They are contradicting. BUT WHY?
Which of the above is correct?
That is, is oxygen a must for germination?
