-Flowers are small, inconspicuous with stalks well above leaves to increase exposure to air currents

-Have large anthers, often with long filaments that hang well outside the flower allowing them to sway and shake out pollen grains at the lightest breeze

-Have green like bracts rather than petals and do not have scent or sepals

-Long, flexible, feathery, stigma that is projected outside the flower. Acts as a net to trap pollen grains

-Pollen grains are light, smooths and large in quantity

-No nectaries

If some flowers are not pollinated by insects but by wind Do you think such flowers are as attractive as insect-pollinated ones?

Wind-pollinated flowers tend to be less showy and colorful compared to insect-pollinated flowers which are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract insects. However, the structure of wind-pollinated flowers is specialized for efficient wind dispersal of pollen, which is important for their reproduction. So, while they may not be as visually attractive to us, they are still well-adapted for their method of pollination.


How do silver birch flowers pollinate?

Silver Birch are wind pollinated.


Why are wind pollinated flowers not usually brightly colored?

Wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers as they are not pollinated by animals, insects or birds. Since wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers, they might as well put their energy into making their pollen lighter, or more of it.


Is spider lily flower pollinated by wind or animals?

Spider lily flowers are typically pollinated by insects and animals, such as bees and butterflies, attracted by their bright colors and scent. They are not primarily pollinated by wind.


Grass flowers do not have strong fragrances or bright colors How might these characteristics be related to the way by which grass flowers are pollinated?

Grass flowers' lack of strong fragrances and bright colors is likely related to their method of wind pollination. Wind-pollinated plants do not rely on attracting pollinators with scent or color; instead, they release large amounts of lightweight pollen into the air to be carried by the wind to neighboring flowers. This strategy is more efficient for grass flowers, as it allows for widespread dispersal of pollen for successful pollination.

Wind pollinated flowers do not make nectar why?

Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.


Grass flowers do not have strong fragrances or bright colors. How might these characteristics be related to the way by which grass flowers are pollinated?

Grasses and grains are wind-pollinated, and plants are seed pollinated. There is a difference.
