  1. For seed dispersal: Can you elaborate on what it is we're looking at? The photo is really bright and I can't see whether there are actual seeds or just the weeds themselves.

  2. "Ethylene: is an organic compound (banana)" What exactly does the ethylene do to the bananas? Does it preserve food or make it rot faster?

  3. How does that flower reflect radial symmetry?

  4. For seed dispersal, you didnt actually clarify how wind takes the seeds (that aren't pictured)

    Can you elaborate or explain what the picture actually is?

  5. "Ethylene: is an organic compound (banana)"
    What in the banana makes it an organic compound?
