Why do plants with fruits on trees spend energy creaating fragrances smells more than plants with fruits on the ground?
The tree requires to attract pollinators to the flowers before the fruit can form. The flowers on the plants on the ground can be pollinated by passing animals moving their pollen around.
Which has a distinctive pleasant odor that helps attracts animals?
Depends on what animal you want to attract and what you view aspleasant Some animals may be attracted by the scents of specific flowers, and others are attracted to rather foul smells like cow patties or the urine of their own species.
Why are flowers generally colorful and fragrant?
Flowers' colours and scents are a sort of advertising, and are primarily to attract insects -- particularly bees -- to come and take nectar. In the process of doing so they will transfer pollen from one flower to the next, thus fertilizing the flower enabling it to produce seed and, where appropriate, fruit. Without pollination there would be no next generation of flowers.
Why do different flowers smell different?
The smells in flowers come from special oils that are produced in the petals as the plant grows. When this oil evaporates, which it does very easily, it gives off a fragrance which we can smell. Various combinations of chemicals in the oils of different flowers result in a variety of fragrances. Some are pleasant, sweet smells, like those of roses, lilacs, and lilies, while others are quite unpleasant. The pelican flower of South America, for example, smells like rotten meat! Flowers get their red, purple, orange, pink, or yellow colors from the pigments, or coloring matter, in the sap of their cells. It is both the scents and colors which attract insects and birds, which land on the flower to sip its nectar. In doing so, they help to spread the pollen for new flowers. Many flowers have the same oil in their leaves, roots, and fruit as they have in their petals, so we can smell the fragrances in those places too!
What are three ways a plant can attract pollinators?
Plants can attract pollinators through the production of nectar, which provides a food source for pollinators. They can also use bright colors and attractive scents to catch the attention of pollinators. Some plants have specialized structures like long tubular flowers or landing platforms that make it easier for pollinators to access nectar and pollen.
Why do flowers smell like rotten meat?
Some flowers, such as the corpse flower, emit smells that resemble rotten meat to attract specific pollinators like carrion beetles and flies. These pollinators are drawn to the scent as they feed on decaying matter and help to transfer pollen between flowers, aiding in reproduction. This adaptation allows these flowers to maximize their chances of successful pollination.
