Seed Dispersal

How do seeds that are dispersed by wind travel?

• Through the air

• By animals carrying them

• By underground tunnels

• Through the water

Name an example of a seed that is dispersed by animals.

• Squirrels

• Birds

• Fish

• Rabbits

What is the main method of seed dispersal for coconuts?

• Wind

• Animal

• Water

• Explosion

What is the process of seed dispersal by water called?

• aerophily

• hydrochory

• anemochory

• zoophily

Which type of plant disperses its seeds by exploding?

• Animal dispersal

• Water dispersal

• Explosive seed dispersal

• Wind dispersal

What are some examples of seeds that are dispersed by wind?

• Apple, orange, and banana seeds

• Pine, oak, and walnut seeds

• Rose, sunflower, and tulip seeds

• Dandelion, maple, and cottonwood seeds

How do animals help in seed dispersal?

• By using the seeds as building materials

• By eating fruits and then excreting the seeds in a different location

• By blowing the seeds with a fan

• By burying the seeds underground

What are some ways in which seeds are dispersed by water?

• Being blown by the wind to a different area

• Floating on the surface, carried by ocean currents, or being eaten by animals and then excreted in a different location

• Being carried by birds to a new location

• Being transported by underground streams

What is the advantage of explosive seed dispersal for plants?

• Increased dispersal range and increased competition with parent plants

• No impact on dispersal range and increased competition with parent plants

• Decreased dispersal range and increased competition with parent plants

• Increased dispersal range and reduced competition with parent plants

Why is seed dispersal important for the survival of plants?

• Seed dispersal only leads to inbreeding and reduced genetic diversity

• Seed dispersal helps in reducing competition for resources and increasing genetic diversity.

• Plants can survive without seed dispersal

• Seed dispersal is not important for the survival of plants
