Question

How are flowers adapted for pollination by insects?

Answer 1

Pollination:

1. Pollination is the process of pollen grains being transferred from a flower's anthers to its stigma.
2. Several insects (like bees, and butterflies) and birds help in the pollination of flowers.
3. Insect pollinated flowers are large and brightly coloured.
4. A number of them have sugary nectar to attract insects. Flowers have sticky pollen grains which get stuck to the body of insects and get carried away to other flowers.
5. Rose, marigold, sunflower, and China rose are some examples of insect-pollinated flowers.
