Worksheet on Dispersal of Seeds and Pollination

1. How are seeds shown in the picture wind adapted for their dispersal?

a. They have sticky surfaces to attach to animals.


b. They have colourful appearances to attract insects.
c. They have hair or wings to float in the air.

Answer Key
1. c - The seeds shown in the picture (cotton and dandelion) are wind-adapted for their dispersal
because they have hair or wings. These structures help them catch the wind and float through
the air to find suitable environments to grow.

2. d - The role the bumblebee is playing in this process is pollinating the flowers. As it moves
from one flower to another, the bumblebee picks up pollen on its body from the male parts of
the flower (stamen) and transfers it to the female parts (pistil) of other flowers.

3. a - Water assists in the dispersal of seeds by carrying them through streams and rivers to new
places. When seeds fall into bodies of water, they can be transported by the current, allowing
them to reach different locations far from the parent plant.

4. a - Ladybugs can be important pollinators in certain plant species. They visit flowers in search
of nectar and transfer pollen between flowers as they move around.

5. c - The role of pollen in the process of pollination is that it is required to form seeds. When
pollen is transferred from the male parts of a flower to the female parts, it leads to the
development of seeds.
