Def.- Is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male
anther to the female stigma.

BIOLOGY ONLINE
Def.- A pollinator is the agent
moves pollen from the
male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower,
this accomplishes fertilization.
Ex.- pea plant, groundnut, or barley.

seed dispersal
Source: biology of plants
Def.- The way the pee is carried from the plant to another location.
1. Animal dispersal- Animals can carry the seeds with their fur,
they can also eat the pods and the seed will travel within the
animal's intestines. They can be planted wherever the animal’s
feces end up.
2. Wind dispersal- These seeds often tend to be smaller. When the
wind blows, the seeds travel off the plant to where it can
fertilize.
3. Floating in water- Many aquatic plants and land plants that live
near water have seeds that can float, and are carried by water.
Dormancy
Life
Def.- A period in an organism's life
cycle when growth, development, and
(in animals) physical activities are
temporarily stopped. This helps an
organism to conserve energy.
Ex.-Plants cannot seek shelter or
use other active ways to survive
water shortages and cold weather.
Consequently, many plants go through
dormancy in order to avoid
unfavorable conditions.
