Question

young coconut seed has pulpy mass inside where as a mature coconut seed has a white solid mass with clear water how do you explain this change

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

This method of dispersal is used by many plants living near moving water but is not used by many land plants. Some coconuts fall into sea water and are washed up on the shores of tropical islands many thousands of kilometres away. Here, if the conditions are suitable, they may germinate into young palms.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The coconut palm tree is a widely-dispersed species due to special adaptations developed by its seed.

• The seed floats due to an internal air cavity.

• The coconut's external husk protects the internal seed from predators and the salt of the ocean.
