When plants are ready to reproduce, they make pollen spores. These spores are very small, and are easily picked up on the wind. When an animal walks by, the pollen spores catch onto their fur. So, where ever the animal travels, some spores fall of, hopefully to reach another plant either near or far from the original plant.

What do flowers attract?
Flowers attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and other insects. These pollinators help transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing for the fertilization of plants and the production of seeds.
What are some examples of plant mutualism in nature?
Plant mutualism in nature includes examples such as the relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, where the fungi help plants absorb nutrients from the soil in exchange for sugars produced by the plants. Another example is the mutualistic relationship between plants and pollinators, where plants provide nectar and pollen for pollinators in exchange for the pollinators transferring pollen between plants for reproduction.
What do flowering plants depend on?
Pollinators
How does pollinators affect plants?
They don't
How do flowers help plants meet their needs?
The basic needs for plants are water, nutrition, and reproduction. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants.
How do flowers help meet their needs?
The flowers help plants in attracting pollinators for cross pollination. Cross pollination creates genetic diversity for better adaptability.
Why the flowers of the hibiscus plant have petals that are large and colourful?
The large and colorful petals of the hibiscus plant help attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds. These petals serve as a visual cue to these pollinators, guiding them towards the flower to aid in pollination. The bright colors and patterns also help the plant stand out amidst its surroundings, increasing its chances of being noticed by potential pollinators.
Why do Many flowering plants have brightly colored flowers that are very noteciable. Why don't these plants use camouflage?
Many flowering plants have brightly colored flowers to attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, which are crucial for their reproduction. The vibrant colors serve as visual signals that help these pollinators easily locate the flowers amidst foliage. Camouflage would be less effective for these plants since they rely on attracting specific pollinators rather than avoiding herbivores or predators. By being noticeable, they increase their chances of successful pollination and seed dispersal.
What do cactus plants make?
Cactus plants make fruits and seeds, with the help of pollinators such as bats, flying insects, hummingbirds, and moths. They make energizing photosynthetic products, with the help of sunlight. They make aerated passagewaysthrough the soil, with the help of their roots and the soil food web.
Many plants secrete a sugary fluid called?
nectar, which attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. These animals help in pollination as they transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating reproduction in plants.
How does smell attract pollinators?
Smells attract pollinators by releasing chemical compounds called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are specific to certain plants and their flowers. These VOCs can be detected by pollinators like bees, butterflies, or birds from a distance, guiding them towards the source of nectar or pollen, which benefits both the pollinators and the plants in terms of reproduction and food resources.
How does a honeybee help a plant reproduce?
Honeybees are what is know as pollinators, when they fly by plants and suck the nectar the become covered in the plants pollen. When the go to the next plant the pollen is spread which will soon make plant seeds.
