Why does making nectare help flowers become pollinated?
Animals looking for nectar spread pollen
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.
Do the insect pollinated flowers have nectar and wind does not?

What do insect-pollinated flowers have to attract insects?
Nectar
How is honeysuckle pollinated?
Honeysuckles, hence their name, are bountiful with nectar. Bees live on nectar and pollen and are attracted to the honeysuckle's flowers.
Where do pollinated flowers come from?
Flowers are pollinated (fertilized) by insects unwittingly transferring pollen from one flower to another as they move from flower to flower drinking or collecting nectar.
Why are wind pollinated flowers not usually brightly colored?
Wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers as they are not pollinated by animals, insects or birds. Since wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers, they might as well put their energy into making their pollen lighter, or more of it.
What characteristics would insect pollinated flowers have?
Are bright in colour Produce sugary nectar Are large in size Have a scent
How does a flower make nectar?
Flowers secrete nectar near the ovary so that they are pollinated. Nectar is usually replenished in twenty minutes after a pollinator such as a bee or hummingbird visits. The sugar is actually made in the leaves created by photosynthesis.
Do all hummingbirds drink nectar?
Yes they do drink natural flower nectar, mainly from flowers that have co-evolved to provide them with the kind of sugar and amounts of nectar they prefer in exchange for pollination services. Hummingbird nectar flowers are usually red, orange, or bright pink, shaped like a tube or trumpet, and produce nectar that is weaker then that of insect-pollinated flowers and contains a high proportion of sucrose (the same as white table sugar).
Can grass be pollinated by hummingbirds?
No. Grass is wind-pollinated and does not produce nectar, the food for hummingbirds.
Is a flower pollinated by animals or wind?
Wind-pollinated flowers have many key differences from insect-pollinated ones. Since they don't need to attract insects, wind-pollinated flowers tend to have smaller petals, are odorless, are less colorful, and don't have nectar. Examples are ragweed, corn and wheat.
