What is the probable function of the wings of a pine pollen grain?

Im fairly sure that the "wing" of a pollen grain is there so in spring when the pollen gets blown off by a gust of wind instead of just falling to the ground it floats around and has more chance of landing on a plant of the opposite sex. its the equivillent to a pollinator such as a bee or honeysucker bird which collect the pollen and spread it to other plant so the cycle can continue

How do bees turn pollen into honey?
They don't. Pollen is not used to make honey. Bees collect nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive it is regurgutated into comb cells. The heat of the hive, together with bees fanning the nectar cells with their wings, drive off water from the nectar. The result is honey.
Definition of analogous structures?
An analogous structure is a structure that has a similar function but different components. For example, the wings of a butterfly verses those of a bird. In both cases, the function is flight, but the wings are build differently.
How structure relates to function?
yes it does; for example, the bladder is made of transitory epithelium, which allows it to expand and contract this theory constitutes the idea of anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) Does the shape of a molecule determine anything else such as life span, size, advancement?
How does pollination take place in flowering plants?
Pollination is the process of transferring male pollen grains to the stigma of the plant (either the same plant = self-pollination, or another related plant close by = cross-pollination). The pollen grains germinate and grow down the style of the plant where the fuse with the female ovules, this results in an embryo being formed, which then becomes the seed of the plant. Pollination is aided by various (so called) "agents" or "vectors", these are things that assist in moving the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma. Vectors/ agents include: wind, insects (bees, butterflies, ants, moths etc.) water in some cases, animals (cats, dogs, sheep, cows, humans etc.)
How many wings do butterflies have?
Butterflies have 4 wings.
How the bees catches some of the pollen grains and drops them on another flower and how Pollination occurs?
The rear legs of the bees are hairy. When they enter a flower pollen grain being light attaches itself on the hairy legs. It is transferred to another flower when theres some frequent movement of the bee,either by flaping their wings or walkin in out the flower. This inturn results to cross poliination.

What are the function of legs and wings of cockroach?

What can anthers produce?
The anther produces pollen grains which would be transferred to other plant's stigma which will receive the pollen grains when an insect fly pass it then the pollen grains will be stuck on its wings.
How does a bee collect pollen?
I think as it lands on flowers the pollen sticks to tiny little hairs on its legs.
