They both produce pollen, therefore they must have anthers and since they both produce seeds they must have stigmas


The end results of wind pollination and insect pollination are the same, the plants are pollinated.
Wind pollinated plants, which include the grasses and some trees, have either no flowers or very insignificant flowers because they have no need to attract insects. The anthers produce very large amounts of very small pollen grains which are then blown by the wind in the hope of hitting a stigma of the same variety of plant. This is the type of pollen which is the major cause of hay fever.
Insect pollinated plants will have flowers, usually with nectar, to attract the insects and reward them with food. A bee's body is covered with fine hairs which become charged with static electricity as the insect flies so when it lands on the flower the pollen grains are actually attracted to the bee's body. When the bee goes to the next flower, some of this pollen is transferred to the flower's stigma. Pollen grains of insect-pollinated plants are much larger than those of wind-pollinated plants.

Is a hibiscus an insect pollinated flower or a wind pollinated flower?

Hibiscus flowers are primarily insect-pollinated, relying on bees, butterflies, and other insects to transfer pollen between flowers for successful pollination. This is due to the structure of the flower, which is designed to attract and accommodate specific pollinators.


What does catch pollen from insects or the wind?

Plants with sticky stigmas catch pollen from insects, as the pollen adheres to the stigma when the insect visits the flower. Plants with feathery stigmas catch pollen from the wind, as the lightweight pollen grains are carried by the wind to land on the stigma.


What is the pollinating agent of a rose?

Bees and Butterflies are the most commonly found types of pollination towards a rose. However numerous insect types pollinate the rose and many other flower types. I have observed assorted flies, beetles, Hemiptera (or true bugs), wasps, moths, and other insects carrying out the process of pollination. Although these species are usually attracted to the flower in some way, other incidental animals can also, perhaps more inadvertently, also get the pollen from anther to stigma, such as spiders, centipedes, birds, and people.


In angiosperms how do the sperms get to the part of the flower containing the egg?

In angiosperms, the sperm are typically carried to the part of the flower containing the egg by pollen grains, which contain the male gametes. These pollen grains are transferred by wind, insects, birds, or other pollinators to the stigma of the flower where they can then travel down the style to reach the ovary and fertilize the egg.


Is a buttercup flower a wind or insect pollinated plant?

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.

How will you describe at least two ways in which pollen is transferred from one plant to another?

Pollen can be transferred by flying insects flitting from flower to flower. A noted cross-pollinating insect is the bee. Pollen can be transferred by the wind blowing pollen into the air (grasses, some trees, are wind pollinated). Wind pollination brings misery to many who suffer from hay fever at certain times of the year.


Give one way that flowers can be pollenated?

Bees. When they collectnectar they gather pollen, and they take it from flower to flower, thus pollinating the flowers. Hummingbirds do this as well. Wind can do it too, but not as effective.


How do think pollen grains reach the pistil?

Either randomly on the wind, or when a flying insect covered in pollen brushes against the pistil as it flies from flower to flower.

Insect-pollinated flowers can also be pollinated by wind why?

Insect-pollinated flowers may still be pollinated by wind as a backup method to ensure successful pollination in case insect activity is limited. Wind can help transfer pollen between flowers when insects are scarce or when weather conditions are unfavorable for insect pollination. This redundancy increases the chances of successful pollination and seed production for the plant.


What is the difference from self and cross pollination?

Cross pollination is when the wind or a insect carries pollen from one flower to another. Self pollination is when a flower produces pollen and uses it in asexual reproduction.


Can insect pollinated flowers be pollinated by wind also?

------> Pollen from a flower can get blow off and land in another flower<------- Double check answer if u wish..... I just used common sense. :)

What are the six ways a flower releases seeds?

Flower can release its seed by wind. It can also spread the seeds by sticking to the legs of any insect or bird that comes for nectar. It sometimes can spread by rain too.


What is the different in pollen at wind and insect pollination?

The answer is really pretty simple. Flowers that are pollinated by insects are pollinated by insects going from one flower to an other, carrying pollen from one flower to the next. Wind pollination is caused by the wind carrying pollen from one flower to an other one.Usually insect pollinated flowers have large, brightly colored petals also sweet scented nectaries at the base of the petals - some flowers may look bland but when viewed under ultra violet or infrared light are very conspicuous.The Stamen is short, with anthers firmly attached inside the flower. The Stigma is sticky and is located on the inside of the flower. Additionally the pollen grain are produced in small amounts, it is rough/ spiky and its large. This features are used to attract insects for pollination. The pollen grains are sticky and rough so it clings onto the insect's body. The Stigma is also sticky so the pollen grains remains in place and wont get carried away by the wind currents.Many, but not all dicotyledonous flowers are insect pollinated.Wind pollinated flowers are small and inconspicuous. Sometimes green or brown in color and has no scent or nectaries (such as the flowers of grass plants).The Stamen has long filaments, with anthers that hang outside the flower. The Stigma is large, branched and feathery. The pollen grains are produced in large amounts, its smooth and light hence it can be carried away by the gentlest of wind currents.Many, but not all monocotyledonous flowers and cone producing gymnosperms are wind pollinated.
