Flowers that depend on wind for pollination have large flowers?

Yes as the pollination process by wind is chancy to say the least. Larger flowers are made possible by these plants not investing in nectar for insects and not have to spend energy there and on bright colors that attract insects.


Can a flower move the pollen by itself?

Some flowers depend on wind, others depend on insects, others depend on larger animals to transport pollen. Flowers that include both male and female parts could potentially pollinate without assistance, if opposite parts happened to touch, but even these flowers usually depend on outside forces for pollination.

How does gymnosperms pollination occur?

Gymnosperms do not produce flowers (as opposed to angiosperms), so there is nothing to attract pollinating insects. As a result, they depend on the wind to blow the pollen from the male to the female cones. Pollination can also occur if the male cones are present at the same time and situated above the female cones. In this case self-pollination can occur when the pollen simply falls or blows downward.


Do animals depend on plants for shelter pollination seed dispersal or sun light?

yes animals depend on plants for shelter. The plants depend on a variety of animals for pollination, seed dispersal. Sunlight is needed by both plants as well as animals.


Examples of Insect-pollinated flowers?

Daisies, dandelions and roses are examples of plants that depend on insects for pollination. Grasses are an example of plants that depend on the wind for pollination. In grass, flowers are grouped together in twos and threes forming spikelets. The flowers are small but they have the same basic structure as an insect pollinated flower. They have ovaries, stigmas, stamens and petals. However, a dandelion is both a wind and insect pollinated flower, depending on its state.

Why are flowers generally colouful and fragment?

Flowers are generally colorful and fragrant to attract bees and other insects. Since flowers must remain stationary, they depend on other means for reproduction. Bees, for example, are attracted to bright, fragrant flowers because they use their nectar to make honey. The flowers, however, need the bees for fertilization and reproduction. When a bee lands on a flower, pollen gets stuck to their legs. As the bees then fly from flower to flower, they deposit the previous flower's pollen, unknowingly fertilizing new flowers and allowing them to reproduce. By attracting more bees (by enhancing their colors and fragrance), the flowers are increasing their own survival.

What is a interdependent and give me some examples?

Interdependence refers to a relationship between two or more entities where they rely on each other for mutual support or survival.
