Question

Name Any Two Seeds That Scatter By Bursting

Answer 1

Hint: We call it dissemination when a seed leaves the fruit or flower. Seeds can be dispersed in a variety of ways. Some seeds are dispersed by the wind, while others are carried away by birds and insects, while others float in water, while still others are forced away from the plant by exploding pods, and still, others hitchhike on animals and people.

Complete answer:
When the seeds are mature, the dried fruit acts as a trigger. When an animal or a person touches the plant, it bursts open and sprays seeds all over. If the ground is wet, the seeds can germinate right away; they can also stick to the creature that caused the capsule to burst open. This can assist them in being transported to a new location.

By bursting, the seeds of squirting cucumbers (Ecballium elaterium), violets (Viola pedata), and touch-me-not (Mimosa pudica) disperse. When the seeds burst, they travel a long way before coming to rest. Many environmental factors, such as wind, rain, and physical contact with an animal, cause seeds to burst.

If an animal causes the seeds to burst, the seeds may adhere to the animal, allowing seed germination far from the parent plant. This is significant because growing too close to the parent plant will result in competition for space, resources, and sunlight.

Note: A key feature of a wind-dispersed seed is its lightweight. It must be able to float easily in the wind or it will fall to the ground. Some seeds, such as milkweed and dandelion seeds, have "parachutes" on top of them. Some seeds are so small and light that they resemble dust. Poppy seeds and orchid seeds are examples of this. Poppy seeds are contained within a small opening around the top.
