Would you expect pollen grains of wind -pollinated flowers to be sticky?

The pollen grains of wind pollinated plants are generally smooth and light. These are not sticky to avoid clump-sing. These are produced in large numbers to ensure landing some pollen on the feathery or netted stigmas.

Does cross-pollinated flowers usually have their stamens higher than their pistils?
Cross-pollinated flowers usually have their stamens higher than their pistils. This is what will make it easer for the pollen grains to fall on the pistils for purposes of pollination
How might having the anther atop a tall filament make it more likely plants will be pollinated?
The anther makes the pollen I think, but you might wanna check though.
How are foxglove pollinated?
they get the pollen on there tails and give it to other flowers
What do flowers produce?
A flower produce pollen sacs which has pollen grains in it
Why do insect pollinated flowers have sticky pollen?
insect pollinated flowers are brightly coloured and sweet scented so that the plant can attract the insect towards itself.
Are wind pollinated flowers petals small?
Yes, wind pollinated flower petals are small, because they do not need to be showy to attract insects.
Which do flowers produce in greater numbers ovules or pollen grains?
pollen grain
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.
What is the different in pollen at wind and insect 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.
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.
What are the characteristics of self pollinated plants?
There are two types of pollination, cross pollination and self pollination. self pollination occur when male part (androecium) of the flower of one plant pollinated on the female part (gynoecium) of the same individual. usually plant with self pollination will have characteristics like: 1. the anther and the stigma are matured at the same time - meaning the stigma are ready to receive the pollen grains at the same time as the anther mature to release it pollen grains. 2. the pollen grains and the stigma are compatible. (means stigma can accept the pollen grains-there is no rejection of pollen grains)
What is pollinated flowers?
A flowering plant whose seed production is facilitated by insect pollinators is what an insect-pollinated flower is. Pollinating insects move pollen grains from female to male plant parts or from female part-only plants to male part-only plants.
