The skin of the sweet pea pod dries and eventually splits open due to the process of dehiscence. Dehiscence is the natural splitting open of a fruit or seed pod to release its contents, in this case, the seeds. Once the pod is dry and mature, the tension in the walls of the pod increases, leading to its eventual rupture and dispersal of the seeds. This mechanism allows the seeds to be scattered and potentially germinate in new locations.
The skin of a sweet pea hardens as the pea seeds mature, making it difficult for animals to chew through and disperse the seeds. This hardened skin also helps protect the seeds from damage and allows them to be dormant until conditions are suitable for germination.
When u hold it the all little seeds in the big seed and is disperse when a seed next to it.
the seeds inside the fruit are dispersed by animal's skin or through droppings
Apple (Malus domestica) - Dispersed by animals like birds, with seeds enclosed in a fleshy fruit. Avocado (Persea americana) - Dispersed by mammals like squirrels, with seeds found in a large fruit. Cherry (Prunus avium) - Dispersed by birds, with seeds contained within a small fruit. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) - Dispersed by animals like foxes, with seeds on the surface of the fruit. Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) - Dispersed by birds, with seeds within a small fruit. Coconut (Cocos nucifera) - Dispersed by ocean currents and floating in the water, with seeds inside a hard, fibrous shell. Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) - Dispersed by birds, with seeds located within a small fruit. Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) - Dispersed by birds, with seeds enveloped in a fruit with fuzzy skin. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) - Dispersed by animals such as bats, with seeds concentrated in the center of the fruit. Mango (Mangifera indica) - Dispersed by animals like monkeys, with seeds surrounded by a juicy fruit.
they need to be dispersed because the seeds can flower somewhere new. for example, when you or an animal brush your skin against plants, it sticks until it falls off. if it is in the right environment, it will grow, as long as the plant's needs are met. Dispersal of seeds from their parents is required by the nature to facilitate their distribution in larger areas and also to avoid their congregation at one place.
Yes and no. The seeds are deadly while the flesh is sweet and edible. So, although I sometimes pick them and suck off the skin and flesh and then spit out the seeds, I wouldn't do that where anybody might see me and copy me and then die from swallowing the seeds.
I have a cat who is constantly coming in with burrs in his fur. He leaves burrs in my bed, on the carpet, anywhere he spends time.As he moves through weeds outside, the burrs, which have tiny hooks (like Velcro) get caught in his fur. As he continues moving - hunting, scratching, fighting - those burrs get redistributed along with his fur. Some find fertile soil while others end up in my laundry! *ouch*
A sweet guy is sweet to be with regardless of his skin color.
