State the method of dispersal each of pride of Barbados fruit/pod and cashew nut

Biology

ScanSolve AI Answer

  • Pride of Barbados fruit/pod: The fruit is a pod that dries and splits open explosively, scattering the seeds. This method is called explosive dispersal or autochory.
  • Cashew nut: The cashew nut is attached to a fleshy, edible structure called the cashew apple. Animals are attracted to and eat the cashew apple, then disperse the nut (seed) through their droppings or by carrying it away. This method is called animal dispersal or zoochoory.
