Other than bees and humans for watering them, plants can live off of rain and sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
What are the method of reproducting plants?
Plants can reproduce either sexually or asexually. Most plants reproduce sexually through pollination, which is done by insects that drink the plants nectar.
Can fertilization take place without pollination?
No, fertilization in plants typically occurs after pollination. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different plant, leading to the eventual fertilization of the ovule. Therefore, pollination is a necessary step for fertilization to occur in most plants.
Is a form of sexual reproduction?
Yes. Although most plants contain both sexual reproductive systems, pollination takes two plants to occur.
What other living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem help you?
Living parts of the ecosystem that help me include plants that produce oxygen, animals that pollinate plants or control pests, and decomposers that break down organic matter. Nonliving parts that help me include sunlight for energy, water for hydration, and soil for nutrients.
How many plants are involved in self pollination?
Self-pollination occurs in a variety of plant species, particularly those with perfect flowers that possess both male and female reproductive organs. It is most common in plants such as peas, beans, and many types of orchids. While exact numbers can vary, it is estimated that around 20-30% of flowering plants are capable of self-pollination. This strategy can be advantageous in stable environments where pollinators are scarce.
Where can you find the sperm cells in flowers?
In most plants, and in all flowering plants, the male reproductive cells (sperm cells) are contained in pollen, which is transferred from plant to plant by insects, other animals or by the wind, or through self-pollination. In most flowers, the pollen can be seen on the anthers of the flower. During pollination, pollen is transferred from anthers to the flower's stigma.
What are the characteristics of flowering and non flowering plants?
it is about the plants that always flowers
Pollination in a flower is the same as what in an animal?
Fertilization. Its the same as sexual reproduction. A big difference is that most plants can self pollinate where as most animals cannot be the male and the female at the same time.
What are living things that appear to be nonliving?
Some examples of living things that may appear to be nonliving include dormant seeds, non-moving plants, and hibernating animals. These organisms can exhibit characteristics of nonliving objects due to their lack of activity or apparent growth.
How is pollination similar in both types of plants?
From link below: There are several ways that seedless fruits can arise. They are usually an exception to the normal fertilization process. Most seedless fruits have what is termed parthenocarpy, where fruit form without fertilization, but pollination is sometimes required as stimulation. See related links below:
What are the uses of a honey bee hive?
Most plants require insects to transfer pollen from one flower to another, and most of this pollination is done by bees. Without pollination, plants would not produce seeds or fruit, so bees are not just useful, they are essential for life as we know it.
Do flowers need insects to pollinate them?
Not all flowers require insects for pollination.Most angiosperms (flowering plants), in particular dicotyledonous plants, require an agent of pollination; normally these are animals - mainly insects, but can also be birds, mamals, centipedes etc.Monocotyledonous angiosperms which comprose largely of grasses are pollinated mainly by wind.Gymnosperms (cone bearing plants) rely mainly on wind pollination and therefore produce large quanitites of pollen.
