Wind moves pollen for some plants like grass and corn. Animal pollinators move pollen for many flowering plants.

Does the flower benefit when the bee collects pollen from it?

Yes, the flower benefits when the bee collects pollen from it because the pollen is transferred to other flowers during the bee's pollination process, helping with fertilization and reproduction. This allows the flower to produce seeds and fruit for the next generation.


What happens during pollination for flowers?

A bee is attracted to a flower from color, sweet nectar, etc... As the bee sucks up the nectar, pollen from the anther(s) gets stuck on the bee's body fur. When the bee moves on to the next flower, some pollen that was stuck to the bee from previous flowers falls off onto the stigma of the new flower.


What is the process in which pollen from one plant is used?

Pollen that is received from another plant is called pollination. Pollination occurs when insects and animals gather pollen on their bodies and will disperse it while moving around other plants.


What is it called when pollen is transferred from the anther to another flowers stigma?

after that, the next thing in the part, which would be the ovary which will keep it in the ovule. fyi i dont think im correct.


What is the different in pollen at wind and insect pollination?

The answer is really pretty simple. Flowers that are pollinated by insects are pollinated by insects going from one flower to an other, carrying pollen from one flower to the next. Wind pollination is caused by the wind carrying pollen from one flower to an other one.Usually insect pollinated flowers have large, brightly colored petals also sweet scented nectaries at the base of the petals - some flowers may look bland but when viewed under ultra violet or infrared light are very conspicuous.The Stamen is short, with anthers firmly attached inside the flower. The Stigma is sticky and is located on the inside of the flower. Additionally the pollen grain are produced in small amounts, it is rough/ spiky and its large. This features are used to attract insects for pollination. The pollen grains are sticky and rough so it clings onto the insect's body. The Stigma is also sticky so the pollen grains remains in place and wont get carried away by the wind currents.Many, but not all dicotyledonous flowers are insect pollinated.Wind pollinated flowers are small and inconspicuous. Sometimes green or brown in color and has no scent or nectaries (such as the flowers of grass plants).The Stamen has long filaments, with anthers that hang outside the flower. The Stigma is large, branched and feathery. The pollen grains are produced in large amounts, its smooth and light hence it can be carried away by the gentlest of wind currents.Many, but not all monocotyledonous flowers and cone producing gymnosperms are wind pollinated.

What is the effect of bees?

As the bees (and other flying insects) move from flower to flower, they drink the nectar and carry pollen on their bodies from flower to flower. It is this cross-pollination that fertilises each flower and the flower can then produce seed for next season flowers.

What is bee pollination?

As bees take nectar from a flower, pollen gets transferred from the stamen on to the bee's body. When the bee goes to the next flower some of this pollen is transferred to the stigma, fertilizing the flower. Once a bee starts collecting nectar from a particular type of flower it will keep going to the same type of flower as long as it can, keeping the pollen to the same type of flower.


What's the name for what bees go to the center of a flower?

Bees go to the flower to take nectar. In the process they will pick up pollen from one flower and transfer some of it to the next one they visit -- a process called pollination.

How does pollination from animals work?

When a bee or any bug gets what ever they get from a flower, pollen get on them, so the next flower they go to, gets that pollen. Or... If a dog or any other animal travels through a field of flowers, the flowers rub all over him/her and goes to the next flowers and keeps happening as he travels through the field.

What is the role of the mouthpart of the butterfly pollination?

A butterfly uses it's mouth to eat nectar from the center of a flower. While eating, pollen gets on the butterfly's legs. When he travels to the next flower, the butterfly ends up inadvertently pollinating it.


What are the adaptations of orchids?

Many of the different species of orchids have unique adaptations of their flower structure and mechanisms of pollination. One of these pollination mechanisms is called pseudocopulatory pollination, which is where part of the flower actually looks like a female insect. What it does is release a scent into the air to smell like the pheromones of a female bee, fly, wasp or whatever species of insect the orchid needs to attract. When the male insect lands on it and "mates" with what really is the flower, the pollen attaches to the insect and stays with it until it reaches the next flower.


What are agents of pollination?

It is necessary as the male and female parts are not in the same flower. But it is not necessarily always like that. It is also necessary for it as this process is very crucial in the life cycle as it produces the flowers and seeds.
