  1. Characteristics for the different types of seed dispersal

  2. Contents Types of Seed Dispersal: Dispersal by wind Dispersal by water Dispersal by animals Dispersal by splitting

  3. Seed Dispersal by wind • Dandelion seeds use their light and feathery structures to stay afloat in the air • Maple seeds are aided by their light and wing- like structures.

  5. Seed dispersal by water The coconut , which has a fibrous husk and can float on water with air sacs that contain air, disperses its seeds by water. The pong pong disperses its seeds with its ability to float on water.

  7. Seed dispersal by animals The sandburs’ fruits have hooks that cling on to passing animals and humans. 2. The rambutan is juicy and colourful so it is eaten by animals.

  8. Close- up of sandburs and rambutans The colour and juicy flesh of rambutansattract predators. The hooks on this plant cling onto passing animals and socks.

  9. Seed dispersal by splitting/ explosive action 1. The river tamarind has a hard exterior which bursts open when the fruit is ripe. 2. The lady’s finger has a pericarp, which is a lining along the walls of the fruit, which cracks, causing the lady’s finger fruit to burst open. 3. The african tulip works like the river tamarind.
