Honeybees are the main pollinators. That is why many consider the high bee Death Rate and loss of bee colonies a serious ecological problem, they are dying faster then new colonies can formed. Without them, the pollination of plants would almost com to a standstill.
There are birds that also perform pollination on some plants. Also many animals help with pollination when they forage for food and brush against flowers picking up pollen in their fur or skin and depositing it as they brush against more plants.
What else can I help you with?
How do wind help pollination?
It carries pollen to a pistil of another plant
How do bees move pollen?
When an insect like bee's lands on a flower, pollen sticks to it's legs. So when an insect moves to another flower pollen gets on that flower and so on and so on as the insect moves from one plant to another.
How is the anther similar to the testis?
The stamen is the female part of the plant that catches pollen from the the anther from another plant (in some cases) and the anther obviously carries the pollen and the pollen gets blown off to other plants.
What is a pollinator and how might one be attracted to a plant?
A pollinator is also referred to as a "vector" or "agent". This is the method or means whereby pollen is transferred from the anthers of one plant to the stigma of another. Agents can be living things such as bees, birds, ants, beetles, bats etc.; they can also be nonliving such as wind and water.
How does the body structure of insect help in pollination?
The way the legs of most insects ,such as bees, have little hairs that pick up pollen. Then when it moves to another plant it leaves some of that pollen on the plant.
How does cross pollination happens?
it occurs naturally through insects.When an insect sits in a flower the pollen gets attached to its legs.th pollen is transferred when it sits on another plant and pollination occur
What animals carries pollen to other plants?
Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, and some types of beetles are examples of animals that carry pollen from one plant to another through their movements. This process is called pollination and is essential for the reproduction of many plant species.
Why do insect pollinated flowers have sticky pollen?
Insect-pollinated flowers usually have sticky pollen to increase the chances of pollen transfer. The stickiness helps the pollen grains adhere to the bodies of insects as they move between flowers, promoting effective pollination. This helps ensure successful reproduction for the plant.
How does fertilization occurs in the plants?
bees, wind, or other insect catches pollen (which acts like sperm) on it's legs, it carries the pollen to another plant and rubs the pollen on the pistil(Egg) which travels down to the ovary, then the plant creates a seed.
How can plants cross pollinate?
By landing pollen grains of another compatible genotype on the stigma of a plant by insect, bird, water, wind or mammals
Is stigma a insect polinated plant?
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.
What are pollen bags called?
pollen bags are for collecting pollen from one plant and tranfering to another plant in order to breed.
