Do bees help pollinate corn?
No. Corn is really a variety of grass, and grasses are wind pollinated.
How is a plant that has a petals a pollinated?
Most plants are pollinated by bees, butterflies, moths or other flying insects. Some are pollinated by wind or rain such as wheat and corn. Some are pollinated by flies and emit a smelly odor like a cadaver or feces. Some plants, such as cacti, are pollinated by bats. In North and South America hummingbirds pollinate tube shaped flowers.
How does corn pollinate?
Corn bearing unisexual flowers pollinate by wind. The male flowers are produced at the top of the plant and the female flowers in leaf axil, somewhere at midlength of the plant. Male flowers of the plant mature first followed by female flowers. Thus cross pollination is ensured.
Are wind pollinated plants attractive?
That is a matter of taste. Grasses (the prime example) can be very attractive. It is the flower not the plants being attractive in case of insect pollinated and not so attractive in case of wind pollinated.
Are shrubs flowering plants?
No, shrubs are not wind pollinated therefore not a flowering plant. Most flowering plants are pollinated by insects, :D
How do wheat plants mate?
Wheat is a grass and is wind pollinated.
Which plants are normally pollinated by the wind?
grass is a prime example
Which type of plant causes more hay fever insect pollinated or wind pollinated?
Wind-pollinated plants are primarily responsible for causing more hay fever than insect-pollinated plants. This is because wind-pollinated species, such as grasses, trees, and some weeds, release large quantities of lightweight pollen into the air, which can easily be inhaled by people. In contrast, insect-pollinated plants tend to produce heavier, stickier pollen that is less likely to become airborne and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, individuals with hay fever are more affected by pollen from wind-pollinated plants.
If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?
A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.
Why do plants produce more pollen when pollinated by wind?
Plants that are wind-pollinated typically produce a larger quantity of pollen in order to increase the chances of successful pollination by wind, which is less precise than pollination by animals. Wind-pollinated plants rely on producing large amounts of pollen to increase the likelihood of pollen grains reaching another plant of the same species for fertilization.
2 types of wind pollinated flowers?
Common examples of anemophilous (wind-pollinated) plants are ragweed, grass, and conifers.(Generally, any pollen that is considered an allergen, comes from an anemophilous plant)
Why don't wind pollinated flowers are not colourful?
They don't need to be. Color is one method used by insect pollinated plants to attract the insects. Wind pollinated plants such as Grasses and Pine trees don't need to attract pollinators. The male flowers simply release the pollen on to the breeze on a "hit or miss" basis.
