The fossil records of primitive plants show a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms that has been adopted by plants at various stages and how they have evolved. The most primitive of this seed dispersal mechanism is the Anemochory

Anemochory is the dispersal of seed through the wind. The seeds have wing like structures and are lightweight to be able to fly away with the wind. They are dull colored and are pale that will prevent the seed from being visible.

Hydrochory is the next order of evolution of the seed dispersal mechanism which became majorly adopted by plants that tend to grow near water sources and those whose seeds are too heavy to fly in the air. One of the best examples is the coconut that falls off on the sea water in the coastal areas and floats to other lands and sprouts to a new plant.

Barochory is the dispersal of the seed through gravity. This is the mechanism where the fruit falls off to the ground due to gravity and grows into a new plant.

Endozochory is the dispersal of the seed through animals. In this case the seed is usually covered with a fleshy edible part which is consumed by the animals and in this process the seed goes into the digestive system of the animal and is excreted in a different place from where the seed can sprout into a new plant.

Ballochory is the dispersal of the seed due to the forceful ejection of the seed by explosive dehiscence of the seed. This lets the plant to place its seeds in a distant area. One of the best examples is the Hura Crepitans which is also called the dynamite tree, named after its exploding fruits.

5 goals of psychology?
Svetllana [295]
1. Describe - the first goal is to observe behavior and describe.
2. Explain - While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?
3. Predict - Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future.
4. Control - Once we know what happens, why it happens and what is likely to happen in the future, we can excerpt control over it
5. Improve - Not only do psychologists attempt to control behavior, they want to do so in a positive manner, they want to improve a person’s life, not make it worse.

Which of the following molecules link together to form starch?
AnnZ [28]
<span>Glucose which can also be fats from excess carbohydrates. </span>
Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy.<span>

Elina [12.6K]

The right option is; a. fatty substances called lipids inside the cell

Among other changes caused by cell aging, there is an increase in pigments and fatty substances called lipids inside the cell.

Aging occurs in the body's cells, tissues, and organs and it therefore affects the functioning of all body systems. Cell aging makes cells sizes to increase and reduces their ability to reproduce. It causes an increase in pigments and fatty substances (lipids) inside the cell. This makes the cells to be inactive or to function abnormally. Aging also causes the accumulation of waste products in tissues.
