How do seeds transfer?
Seeds can be transferred through various methods, including wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the wind, water dispersal occurs when seeds float in water to new locations, animal dispersal happens when seeds are ingested by animals and deposited elsewhere, and self-dispersal mechanisms include seed pods that burst open to release seeds or seeds that are propelled away by the plant itself.
Which seeds have hooks on them?
This is so the plants seeds can hook on to something like a humans clothes or an animals fur and get transported to another area where they can start to grow.
What do we call spreading out of seeds from the original plant?
The spreading out of seeds from the original plant is called dispersal.
What characteristics are necessary for mechanical dispersal of seeds?
Mechanical dispersal of seeds typically occurs through mechanisms like explosive seed pods, wind dispersal, or animal dispersal. Characteristics that aid in mechanical dispersal include lightweight seeds, winged structures for wind dispersal, or structures that allow for explosive release of seeds.
How are burdock seeds pollinated?
Burdock seeds are typically pollinated by insects, especially bees, that visit the burdock flowers to collect nectar. As they move from flower to flower, they inadvertently transfer pollen, leading to fertilization and seed development. This process ensures genetic diversity in the burdock population.
What is the symbiotic relationship between burdock seeds and animals?
commensalism because one benefits and the other isn't harmed
How burdock seeds is dispersed?
Burdock seeds are dispersed by animal fur. These burdock seeds have little hooks on them which allows them to "catch" onto the fur.

What method of seed dispersal does burdock use?
Burdock uses animal dispersal method through burs that attach to the fur of animals or clothing, allowing them to be carried to new locations.
How does the shape of dandelion and burdock help in easier seed dispersal?
because
What are the agents of seeds dispersal?
wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal and mechanical dispersal

What are the unique characteristics and uses of spiky ball seeds?
Spiky ball seeds, also known as burrs, have a unique structure with small hooks or spikes that allow them to easily attach to fur or clothing for dispersal. These seeds are commonly found in plants like burdock and cocklebur. Their spiky design helps them stick to passing animals, aiding in seed dispersal. Additionally, some animals use these seeds for foraging or as a food source.
How is the burdock adapted for seed dispersal?
The seeds (burrs) of the Burdock are covered in hooks which catch onto the clothes of humans, or the fur of animals that brush against the ripe burrs. Eventually, the seeds, clustered in the burrs, shake loose and are spread over a wide area. Incidentally, it was this hook and cloth process that led to the Velcro fastening system, much used today.
