What is the difference insect pollination and wind pollination?

Answer 1

Wind pollinated flowers sometimes look ugly because they don't need to attract bugs.

Answer 2

Insect pollination is transferring the pollen grains to the stigma by insects while wind pollination is transferring the pollen grains to the stigma by wind.

As insects (for example bees) are more likely to visit the same plant, or plants in close proximity, the chances are pollination will take place within a very small gene pool of (the same) plants.

Wind pollination increases the chances of pollination over a larger gene pool of (the same - or very closely related) plants.

Answer 3

Pollen carried by wind will not always land on other plants, so more pollen is created for a greater chance of that happening. On the other hand, pollinating insects such as bees travel from flower to flower, so it is almost certain that pollen with be able to reach another plant. Therefore, insect pollinated plants will not need to produce as much pollen as wind pollinated plants.

Answer 4

It takes almost all of the pollen from a large quantity of plants and spreads it all over the place. Unlike wind pollination the bugs can miss plants or eat them that has a chance of killing them.

Answer 5

Flowers pollinated by insects or other animals like bats or birds have bright colors or odors to attract the pollinators and usually produce nectar as a reward. Wind pollinated flowers don't need to be attractive and are often so inconspicuous that the average person may not even recognise them as flowers.

Answer 6

Insect pollination occurs when insects such as bees or butterflies transfer pollen between flowers while collecting nectar. Wind pollination, on the other hand, relies on the wind to carry pollen from one plant to another. Insect pollination is more precise and targeted, while wind pollination is a more random and less efficient process.
