Study Notes
- Reproduce means "have babies"
Seed Dispersal
- Plants move to new locations by spreading their seeds.
- Seed dispersal is scattering or spreading seeds in different directions.
- Ways plants disperse seeds:
- Wind
- Water
- Animals
Seed Dispersal by Water
- Seeds can float on water like a coconut seed.
Seed Dispersal by Wind
- Seeds can be blown by the wind like dandelion seeds.
Seed Dispersal by Animals
- Seeds get stuck to animal fur.
- Squirrels carry seeds, bury some to eat later, but forget where they buried them.
Pollination
- Plants create seeds through pollination, not like people with mothers and fathers.
- Pollination is spreading pollen from one flower to another with helpers called pollinators.
- Pollen is small yellow dust carried by animals, from one flower to another.
- Pollinators are helpers as animals carry pollen from one flower to another.
- Types of pollinators include bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and bats.
Habitats
- A habitat is a place where a plant or animal lives and gets what it needs like food, water, air, space, and shelter.
- Examples of habitats:
- Forest
- Arctic
- Desert
- Grassland
- Ocean
Diversity
- Diversity measures the quantity of different plants and animals living in a place.
- The ocean and forest have high diversity with many plants and animals.
- Deserts have less diversity with fewer plants and animals.
Adaptations
- Adaptations are the special parts of a living thing that help it survive in its habitat.
- Examples:
- Camels have a hump to store fat.
- Cats have claws to climb.
- Fish have gills to breathe.
