Study Notes
Pollination
- The primary purpose of pollination is to transfer pollen from the male reproductive organ of a plant to the female reproductive organ, allowing fertilization to take place.
Organisms Involved in Pollination
- Bees, butterflies, moths, birds, and bats are commonly involved in the pollination process.
Result of Successful Pollination
- The result of successful pollination in plants is fertilization, which leads to the formation of seeds and fruits.
Forms of Seed Dispersal
- Seed dispersal is a process that allows seeds to spread away from the parent plant, and one form of seed dispersal is wind dispersal.
Animal-Mediated Seed Dispersal
- An example of an animal-mediated seed dispersal method is endozoochory, where seeds are ingested by animals and then excreted in a new location.
Environmental Factors Affecting Seed Dispersal
- Wind is an environmental factor that can influence seed dispersal in plants, as it can carry seeds away from the parent plant.
