What are the four dispersal methods?
The four main dispersal methods are wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal. Wind dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by the wind, water dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by water currents, animal dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by animals, and self-dispersal involves seeds or spores being dispersed by the plant itself.
What do fungi release when they reproduce?
Fungi release spores when they reproduce. Spores are akin to seeds and are responsible for fungi's propagation and dispersal.
What is an anthropochore?
An anthropochore is a species which depends on arthropochory as a routine means of reproductive dispersal - the dispersal of seeds or spores by humans.
What type of spores does Lycopodium produces?
Lycopodium produces spores known as homosporous spores, which are all of the same size and shape, allowing for a uniform dispersal method.
What kind of spores develop directly from the mycelium?
fungi

Why is the wind a better dispersal for spores than for seeds?
Spores are lighter (make that less dense).
What do fungi release when they reproduce?
Fungi release spores when they reproduce. Spores are akin to seeds and are responsible for fungi's propagation and dispersal.
What is the function of elater in the capsule Marchantia sp?
Elaters in the capsule of Marchantia sp. are responsible for aiding in seed dispersal. They help in the dispersal of spores by expanding and contracting in response to changes in humidity, effectively releasing spores into the environment.
What function do spores perform for Fungi and Mold?
Reproduction and dispersal
What is an anthropochore?
An anthropochore is a species which depends on arthropochory as a routine means of reproductive dispersal - the dispersal of seeds or spores by humans.
In addition to spores what would you expect to see inside a slime mold sporangium?
Inside a slime mold sporangium, you would expect to find the spores already developed and ready for dispersal. The sporangium also contains structures that help in spore dispersal such as a cap or lid that can open to release the spores. Additionally, some sporangia may have specialized cells that assist in the dispersal of spores.
Do fungi have seed dispersal?
Yes, but fungi disperse spores not seed.
What type of spores does Lycopodium produces?
Lycopodium produces spores known as homosporous spores, which are all of the same size and shape, allowing for a uniform dispersal method.
What kind of spores develop directly from the mycelium?
fungi
What are examples for dispersal by explosion?
Examples of dispersal by explosion include the dispersal of seeds by plants like touch-me-not (Impatiens) and wood sorrel, as well as the dispersal of fungal spores by fungi like earthstars and puffballs. These organisms use built-up pressure to forcibly expel their seeds or spores to help them spread over a wider area.
Which structures are adaptations for dispersal in mosses and ferns?
In mosses, adaptations for dispersal include spores produced in capsules that are dispersed by wind or water, and structures like gametophores and rhizoids that aid in attachment and colonization of new habitats. In ferns, adaptations for dispersal include spores produced in sporangia that are dispersed by wind, and structures like rhizomes and adventitious roots that aid in vegetative propagation and colonization of new areas.
