🐝 Pollination and Seed Dispersal
Learn how flowers are pollinated and how seeds spread across the landscape! This quiz explores the vital roles of wind, insects, animals, and water in moving pollen between flowers and dispersing seeds to new locations. You'll discover why plants need to spread seeds to survive and how different seed adaptations help them travel. **What you'll learn:** - How pollination works and why it's essential for plants - The different pollinators (wind, insects, animals) and their methods - How seeds are dispersed through wind, water, animals, and humans - Why seed dispersal helps plant survival and population growth - The special adaptations seeds have for each dispersal method
