AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Animals help in pollination and seed dispersal. Animals disperse seeds by carryng them on their body or by eating the fruit of a plant and disposing the seeds at some other location as they move.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the significant ways that animals disperse plant seeds is by eating and pooing them out. Certain plant species, including many trees, enclose their seeds inside fleshy edible fruits that are appealing to hungry animals. These fruit-loving animals are called frugivores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants need animals for seed dispersal and pollination.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pollination and seed dispersal are processes that plants rely on to make new plants. Animals, wind and water can all help plants move their pollen and seeds around.

Detailed explanation-5: -In general, pollination by animals occurs after they reach inside the flowers for nectar. While feeding on the nectar, the animal rubs or touches the stamens and is covered in pollen. Some of this pollen will be deposited on the stigma of the next flower it visits, pollinating the flower.
