How do pinecones measure humidity of air?

Pinecones can sense humidity by opening or closing their scales in response to changes in moisture levels in the air. When the air is dry, the scales of the pinecone open up to release seeds. Conversely, when the air is humid, the scales close to protect the seeds inside. This mechanism helps the pinecone regulate the dispersal of its seeds based on environmental conditions.


Do pinecones release sperm on female pinecones?

Yes and no. The big brown pinecones on the ground that most people consider pinecones are actually female pinecones. The male pinecones are the small pollen structures. Each pollen structure has over a hundred sperm cells, and each pinecone has several egg cells inside it. Not all of them will get fertilized, but in a successful instance, wind or gravity will cause a tiny piece of the pollen, one sperm cell, to fall inside of the female pinecone to fertilize it.
