Question

Honey is made using the______ of flowering plants secreted by _______.

• A. Nectar, digestive glands
• B. Nectar, nectaries
• C. Oily extract, oil ducts
• D. Necter, laticiferous ducts

Answer 1

The correct option is B Nectar, nectaries

• Plant honey is secreted by nectaries. Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called as nectaries, either within the flowers with which it attracts pollinating animals or by extrafloral nectaries, which provide a nutrient source to animal mutualists, which in turn provide anti-herbivore protection.
• Common nectar-consuming pollinators include bees, butterflies and moths, hummingbirds, and bats.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
