Does a flower petal emits phermones?

Answer 1

Flower petals do not emit pheromones, which are chemical signals primarily used for communication between individuals of the same species, often seen in insects and some mammals. Instead, flowers release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that attract pollinators. These compounds can serve to lure bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, aiding in the plant's reproduction process. While both pheromones and VOCs are chemical signals, their purposes and the organisms they affect differ significantly.
