Can plants be vectors

I can't think of any examples where plants are vectors of disease. Typically a disease vector is an organism that moves a disease causing organism from one host to the next. It's hard to imagine how a plant could do this, except in the dispersal stages of plants' life histories (pollen and seeds, mainly). I do not know of any examples where a pollen grain or a seed carries a disease from one host to the next, but I won't say that it is an impossible scenario.

What are some vectors of pollination?

Some vectors of pollination include bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, and wind. These agents help transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating the reproduction and genetic diversity of plants.


What group of plants depend on animal vectors for fertilization?

A group of plants that depend on animal vectors for fertilization is called zoophytes. These plants rely on animals, such as insects, birds, or bats, to assist in the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs, thus enabling fertilization. Examples include many flowering plants and orchids.


What are the three different kinds of vectors?

The three types of vectors are position vectors, displacement vectors, and force vectors. Position vectors represent the position of a point in space relative to a reference point, displacement vectors represent the change in position of an object, and force vectors represent the interaction between objects that can cause acceleration.

No


What are the coplanar vectors in mathematics?

Vectors that sum to zero are coplanar and coplanar vectors sum to zero.


Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?

Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.


When are magnitudes of two vectors added?

The magnitudes of two vectors are added when the vectors are parallel to each other. In this case, the magnitude of the sum is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors.


Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of the vectors explain?

No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors individually. In vector addition, the resultant vector is determined by the magnitude and direction of the individual vectors. The sum of two vectors represents the combination of their effects, resulting in a new vector with different properties than the original vectors.


What is the difference between vectors and non-vectors?

Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.


Can the resultant of two equal vectors be of same magnitude as the two vectors?

No, the resultant of two equal vectors will have a magnitude that is not equal to the magnitude of the original vectors. When two vectors are added together, the resulting vector will have a magnitude that depends on the angle between the two vectors.


What is the difference between orthogonal and orthonormal vectors?

All vectors that are perpendicular (their dot product is zero) are orthogonal vectors.Orthonormal vectors are orthogonal unit vectors. Vectors are only orthonormal if they are both perpendicular have have a length of 1.
