Detailed explanation-1: -Fruits taste sweet because they are full of sugar. The plant fills them with sugar so that animals will eat them. Inside the fruit are the plant’s seeds. When an animal eats the fruit, the seeds are not digested along with the rest of the fruit, but instead pass out of the animal’s body unharmed.
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: -The sweetness in fruits is due to the presence of sugar in it.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Animals can disperse seeds by excreting or burying them; other fruits have structures, such as hooks, that attach themselves to animals’ fur. Humans also play a role as dispersers by moving fruit to new places and discarding the inedible portions containing the seeds.
