The fruit of a certain plant is sweet and fleshy. the seeds of this plant have a seed coat that is fairly tough. the seeds germinate better if they are exposed to acid, or scarification. what is the most likely type of dispersal for this seed? water animal wind

Animal

Explanation:

The fact that the seed is sweet and fleshy means it attracts animals who ingest it due to its palatability. The animals get to diperse the plant seeds. The acidic environment of the digestive tract of the animals helps soften the seed coat. When the seed is finally excreted by the animal, is can easily germinate.  

the answer is a or when it says crossing over

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
