Question

Mention two ways in which plants are useful to animals and two ways in which animals are useful to plants.

Answer 1

Background

Plants and animals depend on one another for survival in all of Earth's many habitats. It may be obvious that animals depend on plants; plants release oxygen into the atmosphere and provide shelter and habitat, some animals eat plants and other animals eat the animals who eat plants. It is easier to overlook the benefits that plants get from animals:- pollination, propagation and fertilization.

Pollination

Pollination is necessary for plants to create new seeds. Bees, hummingbirds, butterflies and other insects move from flower to flower feeding on nectar. While the bird or insect is feeding, pollen from the flower's stamens stick to it and is then transferred it to another plant's stigma, a sticky area located on top of the pistil.
