Question

The fruit of a certain plant is sweet and fleshy. The seeds of this plant have a seed coat that is

fairly tough. The seeds germinate better if they are exposed to acid, or scarification. What is
the most likely type of dispersal for this seed?
water
animal
wind

Answer 1

Animal

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that the seed is sweet and fleshy means it attracts animals who ingest it due to its palatability. The animals get to diperse the plant seeds. The acidic environment of the digestive tract of the animals helps soften the seed coat. When the seed is finally excreted by the animal, is can easily germinate.
