Flowering plants also known as angiosperms have large bright petals as a attracting device for insects and birds. Insects do not see in the visiblelight specturum like we do, instead they see in the ultraviolet spectrum. If you were to look at a flower in the ultra violet spectrum it would apear as though it were a target, with the center or emphasis on the anther were the pollen is produced and spread from. In this way, flowers can spread pollen much more efficiantly and therfore reporduce more effectively.
The brightly coloured petals are to entice a visit from a pollinated insect. But, it has been discovered that what we, humans, see when looking at a flower is not what visiting insects see. It seems that ultraviolet light changes the appearance of the flower head, guiding in approaching insects like the lights that mark the runway for an approaching aeroplane at an airport.
To attract the insects by color and smell
The colors help attrac t the bugs
To attract insects
to attract bugs to land on it. After landing on the flower pollen will stick to the bugs feet, so then when the bug lands on another flower, it will pollinate it. That is one way of how flowers reproduce sexually.
Answer 1: If a bloom has large petals and sepals, it's much harder to pollinate the flower. They would just get in the way. Answer 2: Petals and sepals are used to attract pollinators and give them a place to land. Wind pollinated plants don't need to attract pollinators or provide landing space for them. Thus, there is no use for large sepals and petals. .
The bright colors in petals attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Certain colors of petals only attract certain types of pollinators.
Yes, roses are pollinated by bees. Bees are attracted to the colorful petals and fragrance of roses, and as they collect nectar from the flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, resulting in pollination.
Insect pollinated is attractive and colourful, the former isn't Besides petal color the insect pollinated flowers also have insect attracting smell where as in wind pollinated flowers the petals are neither attractive nor scented.
The fragrant flower with the bright petals was probably pollinated by bees or other animals. The flowerless plant probably reproduces by spores being carried by the wind.

The purpose of bright colours in the flowers is to attract the insects that act as pollinators.
Petals are both wind pollinated and insect pollinated, not one or the other. Insect pollinated petals are large and brightly colored while wind pollinated petals are small and brown or green in color.
* petals with either bright colors or colors able to be seen by an insect's eye. * male and female parts on separate flowers.
They are not coloured because they undergo wind pollination unlike coloured flowers which have bright petals to attract insects for pollination.
Animals must find and eat food, whereas plants create their own food, using the sun's rays and water.

It's bright and showy, and even has little nectar ducts under its petals, so insect-pollinated. Wind-pollinated plants generally don't have flowers, or the flowers are very small and inconspicuous, like those of grass. Wind-pollinated plants also make far more pollen (try tapping a pine tree or reed in spring) because the wind does not take it directly to its destination, much of it will be lost. With insects there's a fair chance the little there is will reach another flower of the same species.
