Question

Some flowers are not pollinated by insects but by wind. Do you think such flowers are as attractive as insect-pollinated ones?

Solution


The wind pollinating flowers are usually small, dull coloured and are scentless. Thus the insects are not attracted towards such type of flowers. The pollen grains in such type of flowers will be large in number and are dusty, so that they can be easily carried away by the winds.
When both types of flowers are compared, the wind pollinated flowers are less attractive than the insect pollinated flowers.
