Here's the solution to the biology question:
a) Name each of the fruits labelled A, B and C.
A. Tridax fruit
B. Mango
C. Coconut
b) State the function of each of the parts labelled I, II and IV.
I. Exocarp: Provides protection to the inner parts of the fruit.
II. Mesocarp: Provides buoyancy for water dispersal and protection to the seed.
IV. Endocarp: Provides protection to the seed.
c) State two structural adaptations each which enables A, B and C to be dispersed by their agents.
A.
- Has a pappus (feathery structures) to increase surface area for wind dispersal.
- Is lightweight to be easily carried by wind. B.
- Has a fleshy and succulent pericarp to attract animals for consumption.
- Has a hard seed coat to protect the seed from digestion by animals. C.
- Has a fibrous mesocarp which traps air, making it buoyant to float on water.
- Has a waterproof exocarp to prevent water from entering and damaging the seed.
