They explode and the seeds go into different areas. What also happens is that the seeds also have little wing like tips that leave them then allowing the seed to drop. from there germination begins

How does an animal eating a seed benefit a plant?

it benefits by this when the animal eats a seed, it carries it inside its body until it needs to use the bathroom. the seed then leaves the animal's body by means of waste (aka poop) and where the seed lands, it will grow. of course, it can only grow if conditions are favorable.


What are the disadvantage of animal seed dispersal?

It does not require anything to help it--it can disperse its seeds by itself.


How are bean seeds dispersed?

There are lots of different ways seeds disperse such as: seed get stuck to animals and the animal carry them. also they can be transported by wind and water However most types of beans disperse by self-dispersal. The pod "explode" and the beans fly out.


Why are some conker shells spiky andsome smooth?

The spiky outer shell of a conker is known as a husk. Its purpose is to deter animals from eating or damaging the seed (conker) inside. The smooth conker shells are typically found in varieties that have evolved to have a thinner, smoother husk for seed dispersal through rolling rather than dispersal by animals.


What method does a blackberry use for seed dispersal?

Blackberries typically use a method of seed dispersal known as endozoochory, which involves animals ingesting the fruit and then dispersing the seeds through their droppings. This process helps the seeds to be spread over larger distances and increases the chances of successful germination in new locations. Additionally, blackberries may also rely on other methods of seed dispersal such as adhesion to animals' fur or feathers for transportation.

What are 3 mechanisms and adaptations for seed dispersal?

Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.


What is plant seed habit?

Plant seed habit refers to the way in which seeds are dispersed by plants. This can include methods such as wind dispersal, animal dispersal, water dispersal, or self-dispersal. Different plant species have adapted different seed dispersal strategies to ensure their seeds are spread effectively to new locations for germination.

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.


What plant has seed pods that get caught in animal fur and on human clothing?

parts of a fruit that attach to an animal's fur for dispersal


Do Humans provide the greatest means of seed dispersal?

No, animals are typically the most effective means of seed dispersal, as they can carry seeds over long distances through their movement or by consuming and excreting them in new locations. Humans can also play a role in seed dispersal, but they are not as efficient as many animal species.


What is the importance of seed dispersal?

Dispersal is important because it is the scattering of seed away from plant
