Long Answer Questions.
1.Why is dispersal of seeds necessary?
 Dispersal of seeds is necessary so that plants do not
grow too close to each other.
 If there is no dispersal of seeds, plants will not get
enough space, air, water, minerals and sunlight.
 Under these conditions they cannot grow into
healthy plants.
 Nature has provided means of scattering the seeds
produced by a plant far and wide, so that crowding
is reduced.
2. Draw a labelled diagram to show the germination of a
seed. Describe the process in your own words

 The process by which a baby plant grows from a


seed is known as germination.
 The seeds use the food stored in the seed leaves to
grow. The roots of the growing baby plant grow
below the seed into the soil.
 The shoots appear and grow upward.
 The seed leaves stay with the plant till the leaves
start growing.
