While seeds are forming, another plant part forms around them. Animals eat this part and carry the seeds to a new spot.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) fruit</em>

Explanation:

Both the gymnosperm and the angiosperms plants produce seed. Seeds are an essential part of reproduction in plants.

After fertilization has occurred, the ripened ovule is the part which turns into a seed. The size of the seeds depends on the type if plant.

After fertilization, the ovary forms the fruit. As the ovule is present in the ovule hence after fertilization, the seed which was made from the ovule gets enclosed in the fruit which was made from the ovary.

HELP ASAP! <br>why is rolling friction much smaller than sliding friction? Also give an example.​
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction because Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

Rolling Friction example: Anything with weels (cars,skateboards) or a ball rooling.

Sliding Friction example: Bicycle brakes,skinning your knee walking,writing.
