The reason is to help in seed dispersal. Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Due to the fact that plants have very limited mobility they have to rely upon variety of dispersal; vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Seed dispersal is important because if seed are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant which would result to competition between every one of the seedlings as well as the parent. The competition for essential growth factors such as light, space, water and nutrients.

TiliK225 [7]
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.

Tonicity in cells refers to the concentration of solute in a solution outside the cell relative to______.
eimsori [14]

Tonicity in cells depends on both the concentration of solute outside the cell and the concentration of solute inside the cell

Tonicity is a concept used in biology that defines the osmotic pressure ( pressure that stops the fluids from entering or leaving cells). This pressure is defined by the concentration of solute (substances dissolved in the liquid) outside and inside the cell.

In this context, the cell is classified as isotonic if there is a balance between the concentration outside and inside; hypertonic if the concentration outside the cell is higher, which causes the cell to shrink of hipotonic if the concentration outside is lower, which causes the cell to swell.
