Why would a hummingbird be considrerd a specialist species?
A Hummingbird is considered to be a specialist specie for a number or reasons. Firstly, the hummingbird is one of a few animals that eats mainly a large amount of flower nectar. Also, the hummingbird is the only specie of bird that can hover steadily and closely enough to the flowers in the highest and most dangerous positions. The Hummingbird has adapted a thin and long beak so that it is easy to extract all of the nectar from the flowers.
Keep cows for the nectar they give?
Cows don't give nectar, they give milk. Cows are mammals, not plants or flowers. However, there is a particular insect that farms another insect for its nectar, and these would be ants farming aphids and milking them like humans milk cows. Once the aphids are done producing, the ants eat them, also just like what humans do with cows when they cannot produce milk anymore.
What is the role of hummingbirds in pollination?
Bees take pollen from flowers and bring it back to their hive to make honey. In fact honey is not made out of pollen, the honey bees visit flowers in search of nectar produced by plants in their flowers inside the nectary glands. While sucking the nectar the bees smear anthers and pollen load is loaded on their legs. These pollen grains attached to their legs come in contact with the stigma of other flowers when the bees move from one flower to the other. Thus pollination is done by them for plants and in return of this service plants provide nectar to them.
What niche do bees occupy?
what an animal does..... sort of like the animal's role
What do Nymphalidae eat?
I would say that Nymphalidae eat like any other regular butterflies. My answer is, "Nymphalidae eat nectar from various types of flowers in the area." I'm not too sure but @ least it is better than the first answer which was a plain, "something". ~P.Oed~ Well, anyways... I hope that this helps you guys a bit
What does the flowers benefit the honey bees on?
The flowers carry nectar, so when the bees collect the nectar they eat it. That helps produce the honey. The nectar in the flowers is the bees food source. Without flowers, the bees would all die out.
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.
What are the features of a flower that would attract pollinators?
Color, shape, odor, and taste. For example, honeybees are attracted to bright colors, open-petal-shaped flowers, flowers which have certain smells, and the sweet nectar produced by many flowers. They can even be "trained" to pollinate flowers which humans might not find particularly attractive such as onion (allium spp.) flowers.
Which animal would need to see color -an owl that hunts at night or a butterfly that drinks nectar from flowers during the day?
butterfly that drinks nectar
Why does nectar from flowers attract bees?
New evidence shows that bees see the world in a higher-frequency prism of light than humans & the flowers seem to "light up" as if under a black light for them. If you could see what they see, you would understand their excitability around the flowers & their ability to move directly toward the flowers from a great distance.
How would you describe endoplasmic reticulum?
It is a single membranous organell found in eukariyotes.It is plate or tubular shape.
What characteristics would insect pollinated flowers have?
Are bright in colour Produce sugary nectar Are large in size Have a scent
Can a mouse pollinate a plant?
It's very unlikely for a mouse to pollinate plants because mice are not nectar feeders.Some bats are nectar feedars, and hummingbirds are, and these would pollinate the flowers they visit.
How would a bee's behavior change if all of the flowers with nectar changed color?
The bee's behaviour probably wouldn't change as long as the flowers still had nectar. This already happens with plants that have varieties specially produced for gardens. For example, bees love borage which normally has blue flowers, but in my garden I have some borage with white flowers and the bees like it just as much.
Do dragonflies pollinate flowers?
They pollinate all sorts of flowers especially the walnut tree. They like to feed off walnuts.
What are the advantage for a flower to have its nectar located inside the flower rather then the outside?
The whole purpose of a flower producing nectar is to attract bees to it - for the purpose of having the bees help spread the flowers pollen to other flowers of its type. The nectar therefore must be in such a location as to have the bee dusted with pollen and have the dusted bee come in contact with the stigma of the flower. Nectar on the outside would not accomplish these vital actions.
Bees Stop making honey?
Bees make honey from nectar gathered from flowers. If there are no nectar-bearing flowers available, then the bees can't make honey. Nor will there be any nectar to feed on, so they will feed on their stored honey.
