What are the 3 main ways pollen is transfered?
Pick up the flower and take out the pollen and put it in another flower. Wind. Bees. Birds.
How the pollen must travel in order for pollination to occur?
one way is from insects such as bees, picking the pollen up and dispersing it onto the female flower. or the wind can pick up the pollen and it will either float somewhere else or it will blow to a female flower
How does flowers get their pollen?
Pollen is formed on the flowers anther. When the flower is produced, the anther is made up of undifferentiated cells. Some of these cells turn into microspores after meiotic division.
Why is the stigma is sticky?
The stigma is sticky so that it can pick up the pollen grains easier, or, in other words, so that the pollen wll stick to it.
Explain how animals aid plant reproduction through pollen transport?
Lets start with some definitions- pollen is the male reproductive bit that joins with a female ova of a plant and grows into a fruit that contains seeds, that can grow into plants. Parent plants produce more plants in the process of reproduction. Some plants have male flowers only on male plants and ova only on female plants. Tough for the plants when they try to reproduce because plants can't move the pollen to the ova. So plants need something else to pick up the pollen and place it in the ova. One way this happens is when pollen is carried by wind and floats onto ovas on other plants. Another problem for reproduction happens when the male flower and female flowers are on the same plant, but placed so that pollen does not fall onto a flower with a ripe ova, or pollen is ripe before the ova is ripe and able to be fertilized. Animals such as bees and other insects are attracted to the sweet smell deep in the flower, go in to get the nectar and wind up covered with pollen as they back out. As the bee goes to another flower, the pollen is scraped off as the bee descends into the narrowing flower. When a bee goes from a flower with pollen and delivers the pollen to a ripe ova, it helps the plant reproduce. Also pollen carried from one plant to another plant helps to mix the genes from each plant to the rest of the plants. Its not just bugs that do this. Pollen is also scraped onto the hair or feathers of animals passing by and is carried to other plants where it may fertilize an ova. Without something to move pollen from one plant to another, many plants could not make more plants.

Does bee pollen show up on drug test?
Pollen is not a drug, and it does not show up on drug tests. Also, bees don't make pollen; they pick it up from one flower and carry it to another.
What will happen if the bee transfers pollen from a rose to a flowering tree?
it will just store up the pollen with the other pollen The bee would probably leave some of the pollen from the first flower in the second flower to pollinate the seeds there, and would probably pick up some pollen from the second flower. That's how it works.

Why does an animal gather pollen?
They mostly don´t intend to do so, but visit a flower for the nectar and pick up pollen unintentionally. The plant, of course, does intend this. As the animal visits another flower, the pollen on its body will drop off and fertilize the female parts of the second flower so it can bear fruit.
What's the name for what bees go to the center of a flower?
Bees go to the flower to take nectar. In the process they will pick up pollen from one flower and transfer some of it to the next one they visit -- a process called pollination.
How does the location of nectaries help to pollinate the flower?
Pollinators are attracted to the nectar. When they are feeding on the nectar, they pick up pollen and/or deposit pollen. The location of the nectaries is such as to make the pollinators touch the pollen to pick it up or to deposit it.
Why do flowers develope shapes built around deep tubes?
So that pollinators with long mouth-parts can collect nectar from the flower and also pick up pollen.
Why the tassel on a corn plant?
to pick up pollen
Where do hummingbirds pick up the pollen from flowers?
stigma
How do insects pollinate a flowering plant?
By accidentally picking up and depositing pollen as they go from flower to flower.
