It is dispersed by explodetion
Because it is light and small
Yes, dandelions use wind to disperse their seeds. Each dandelion flower produces a fluffy seed head, known as a pappus, which allows the lightweight seeds to be carried away by the breeze. When the seeds are released, they can travel long distances, helping the plant colonize new areas. This wind dispersal mechanism is effective for spreading the seeds over a wide range.
No, tomatoes do not primarily use wind to disperse their seeds. Instead, they rely on animals, particularly birds, to eat the fruit and subsequently excrete the seeds elsewhere. This method ensures that the seeds are spread over a wider area, often in nutrient-rich droppings, which helps with germination. Some seeds may also fall to the ground near the parent plant, but wind is not a significant factor in their dispersal.
Roses disperse their seeds through the help of animals, such as birds and mammals, that eat the rose hips and then spread the seeds through their droppings. The seeds can also be dispersed through wind or water.
Yes, Angsana trees (Pterocarpus indicus) produce winged seeds that are dispersed by the wind. The seeds have a papery wing structure that helps them float in the air and travel away from the parent tree to germinate.
There are myriad plants that use wind dispersal to spread their seeds. Examples include dandelions, Box Elder, various Maples, Sycamore, Evergreen Ash, Tipu Tree, Empress Tree, and Tree of Heaven, among others.The types of wind dispersal seeds are:GlidersParachutesHelicopters (Whirlybirds)Flutterers/SpinnersCottony Seeds & FruitsTumbleweedMiscellaneous
Rubber trees disperse their seeds through wind or water. The seeds of the rubber tree are typically small and lightweight, making them easy to be carried away by the wind to new locations suitable for germination. Alternatively, the seeds can also be dispersed through waterways, allowing them to travel and potentially grow in distant areas.
Different plants use different methods. Some use fruit, some use seeds whose shape makes it easy for them to be carried by wind, some seeds develop burrs with which they stick to passing animals and then drop to the ground later.
Windblown Seeds Also by crossbills and other finches eating and passing through their digestive system. Other animals also help disperse one tree seeds such as squirrels. Even we as humans help disperse theses seeds as we use the pine cones for the sweet pine smell used in burning the cones (minus the seeds). Also children disperse the seeds playing 'helicopters' with these particular seeds in Scottish playgrounds.
A pumpkin is a fruit - the seeds are contained in a sweet fleshy material - animals eating the pumpkin will invariably ingest some of the seeds and will disperse them in their excrement.
Wind can help humans by providing a renewable source of energy through wind turbines that generate electricity. It can also be utilized for activities like sailing and flying kites for recreational purposes. Additionally, wind can help disperse seeds and pollinate plants in nature.
Moonseed plants use animals, such as birds or small mammals, to disperse their seeds. The fruits of the moonseed plant are attractive to animals, who eat the fruits and help spread the seeds as they move around. Additionally, the seeds of the moonseed plant are often dispersed through water or by falling to the ground near the parent plant.
