Lightweight seeds with a sail shape, such as maple, dandelion, etc. Heavy seeds (walnuts, coconuts, etc) are not moved by wind.

What are 3 mechanisms and adaptations for seed dispersal?

Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.


The function of the fruit to the plant is?

The function of fruit to the plant is to protect and help disperse seeds for reproduction. Fruits develop from the ovary of a flower and can be spread by animals, wind, or water to new locations for germination. Additionally, fruits provide energy and nutrients for the seed during its growth.

Why do seeds disperse?

Seeds disperse to increase the chances of successful germination and to avoid competition with other plants for resources. Dispersal methods can vary and include wind, water, animals, or self-dispersal mechanisms. This helps seeds to find suitable habitats for growth and spread across a wider area.


How do roses disperse their seeds?

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.

How does the seed design help the plant lupin to disperse?

The seed design of lupin includes a hard outer coat that protects the seed. When the seed is mature, the pod dries and splits open, ejecting the seeds out with force. This mechanism helps the lupin seeds disperse away from the parent plant to new areas for germination.


What does a dandelion seed look like?

A dandelion seed is small and lightweight, with a fluffy white "parachute" attached to it that helps it disperse in the wind. The seed itself is small and elongated, usually brown in color.


How does spinach seed disperse?

Water, wildlife, and wind are ways in which spinach seeds disperse. The aquatic plant which is known as water spinach is most likely to disperse by water since its air pocket-filled labyrinthine seeds can float and disperse with water currents. The terrestrial plant tends to disperse by wildlife and winds.


How does a wing-like disperse seeds?

The seed-dispersal mechanism would be wind, because it has a wing structure.


What is the definition of disperse?

Disperse is defined as the transfer of a seed or fruit from the parent plant to other places where the seed may germinate.


What three ways animals disperse seeds?

Animals disperse seeds in various ways that include seeds with barbs that get stuck in their feathers or fur and are carried to new areas. They eat the fruit with the seeds and once through the digestive tract, seeds are dropped in other areas. Another way animals disperse seeds is by burying them for later and not retrieving them so they grow into new plants.
