Colorful flowers are usually pollinated by attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds with their bright petals and sweet nectar. These pollinators are drawn to the colors and scents of the flowers, and in the process of feeding on the nectar, they transfer pollen from one flower to another, aiding in the pollination process.
It is estimated that there are around 30 million insect species on earth. This would mean the insect population could represent over 90% of all life on earth.
Some plants that thrive in low-light conditions include snake plants, pothos, peace lilies, and ZZ plants. These plants can survive in dimly lit rooms or areas with indirect sunlight. It's important to note that while they can tolerate low light, they still need some level of light to photosynthesize and grow.
Most plants get nitrogen from the soil, where it exists in various forms such as nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium. Some plants, like legumes, also have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. Nitrogen is a vital element for plant growth as it is a key component of proteins, enzymes, and chlorophyll.
Wind-pollinated plants are primarily responsible for causing more hay fever than insect-pollinated plants. This is because wind-pollinated species, such as grasses, trees, and some weeds, release large quantities of lightweight pollen into the air, which can easily be inhaled by people. In contrast, insect-pollinated plants tend to produce heavier, stickier pollen that is less likely to become airborne and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, individuals with hay fever are more affected by pollen from wind-pollinated plants.
That is a matter of taste. Grasses (the prime example) can be very attractive. It is the flower not the plants being attractive in case of insect pollinated and not so attractive in case of wind pollinated.
insect pollinated
A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.
Any flower that is pollinated by an animal (not insect); pollinators include birds, bats, small mammals etc.
Two examples of insect-pollinated plants are sunflowers and lavender. These plants rely on insects such as bees and butterflies to transfer pollen between flowers, aiding in their reproduction and development of seeds. Insect pollination is crucial for the successful growth and sustainability of many plant species.
Color and fragrance are two adaptations of insect-pollinated flowers. Flowering plants which benefit from insect pollinators need to call attention to themselves by arthropod-attractive scents and striking colors.
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.
No, stigma is not an insect pollinated plant. The stigma is actually a part of the flower's female reproductive system that receives pollen during pollination. Insect-pollinated plants rely on insects to transfer pollen between flowers for fertilization.

Petals are both wind pollinated and insect pollinated, not one or the other. Insect pollinated petals are large and brightly colored while wind pollinated petals are small and brown or green in color.
The continent that does not have bees is known as Antarctica. This is the only continent that does not have what are known as insect-pollinated flowering plants.
