How do the seeds leaves and stems and flowers of these two groups differ?
They would differ by how the flowers are. If the leaves, seeds, and stems are different then another then it would be hard to say how they differ.
What are the advantage for a flower to have its nectar located inside the flower rather then the outside?
The whole purpose of a flower producing nectar is to attract bees to it - for the purpose of having the bees help spread the flowers pollen to other flowers of its type. The nectar therefore must be in such a location as to have the bee dusted with pollen and have the dusted bee come in contact with the stigma of the flower. Nectar on the outside would not accomplish these vital actions.

How does a bird takes nectar from a flower?

Is the saguaro cactus nectar poisonous?
Most cacti are not toxic to cats. If your cactus is prickly, one touch and your cat isn't going to mess with it again. If you have a non-spiny cactus, it still isn't going to taste good so your cat would only nibble a little, and then at worst have a sick tummy. If you know the species of cactus concerned, look it up specifically. In general, though, it's probably fine. I've kept cats and cacti/succulents in the same living space for years and never had either one of them hurt the other.
What does the flowers benefit the honey bees on?
The flowers carry nectar, so when the bees collect the nectar they eat it. That helps produce the honey. The nectar in the flowers is the bees food source. Without flowers, the bees would all die out.
Wind pollinated flowers do not make nectar why?
Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.

Why does nectar from flowers attract bees?
New evidence shows that bees see the world in a higher-frequency prism of light than humans & the flowers seem to "light up" as if under a black light for them. If you could see what they see, you would understand their excitability around the flowers & their ability to move directly toward the flowers from a great distance.

Can a mouse pollinate a plant?
It's very unlikely for a mouse to pollinate plants because mice are not nectar feeders.Some bats are nectar feedars, and hummingbirds are, and these would pollinate the flowers they visit.
How would a bee's behavior change if all of the flowers with nectar changed color?
The bee's behaviour probably wouldn't change as long as the flowers still had nectar. This already happens with plants that have varieties specially produced for gardens. For example, bees love borage which normally has blue flowers, but in my garden I have some borage with white flowers and the bees like it just as much.

Bees make honey from nectar gathered from flowers. If there are no nectar-bearing flowers available, then the bees can't make honey. Nor will there be any nectar to feed on, so they will feed on their stored honey.
