It is a numbers game. Most plants produce more seeds than are likely to become adult plants BECAUSE so many seeds fail to grow to adulthood. If they did not overproduce, the species would die out.
In fact, one way to measure the "effectiveness" of a plant's seeds is to look at how many it produces. Plants that produce the most seeds in comparison with the seed survival rate are those that have ineffective seeds.
Plants that produce fewer seeds generally have more effective ways of ensuring that the seed survives to produce the next generation of plants. Some of the ways that plants use to increase the effectiveness of their seeds are by protecting them with shells (so that they are resistant to the weather), making them larger (so that they have a lot of stored food to give them a good start), making them taste good to birds (so they will be eaten and deposited along with fertilizer).

Do most plants produce from seeds?
Yes
Two that produce the most energy?
Nuclear and fossil fuel power plants are currently the two energy sources that produce the most energy. Nuclear power plants rely on nuclear reactions to generate electricity, while fossil fuel power plants burn coal, oil, or natural gas to produce electricity.
What are three things plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, which is essential for the survival of most living organisms. They also generate glucose, a simple sugar that serves as energy for their growth and development. Additionally, many plants produce seeds or fruits, which facilitate reproduction and the dispersal of their genetic material.
Would plants increase CO2 in the air?
Awesome catch! CO2 is produced in very massive amounts by dead plants. As a interesting note, dead and decaying plants produce far more CO2 then man. Many time that of man! Man produces about 2 to 5% of all CO2. The rest is created by nature. Most of this by plants and animal life that are decaying.
What do we call plants that do not produce wood?
From what I've researched it would most likely be "non-woody". Trees are perennial woody plants. Woody plants include trees, herbs, shrubs and lianas.
Why do most plants produced many more seeds than will ever become adult plants?

Why would using more plants most likely produce more accurate results than using one plant?
You can divide it by the numbers of plants so that it is accurate.
How many kilowatts a hour does a dam produce?
Most power plants produce several Megawatts of power. A Megawatt is one million watts.
Do most plants produce seeds?
Yes
Do most plants produce from seeds?
Yes
Why do plants produce so many seed?
Because most seeds don't make it to adulthood and if they didn't over produce the population would die
What most likely happen if green plants were to exposed to longer days of sunlight?
The chloroplasts would produce more energy.
Why is the rainforest valuable?
the rain forest is valuable because many medicines are derived from rain forest plants. Most importantly, our oxygen comes from plants, the more plants, the more oxygen.The rain forest is considered valuable because many medicines are derived from rain forest plants.

Why do flowering plants produce fewer seeds?
This question does not make sense. Most flowering plants produce seed in varying quantities.
What plantpreduses the most THC?
Marijuana plants generally produce the most THC. So far as I can tell, no other plants have been discovered that also produce this fascinating chemical.
What would most likely happen if green plants were exposed to longer days sunlight?
The chloroplasts would produce more energy.
