How do you know if a plant is pollinated by insects?

You can easily know whether flowers are wind pollinated by just looking at their structure. These flowers have very small petal and they do not have any scent or nectar to attract insects. The pollen is also produced in large quantities since most of it never gets to the other flowers.

How many insects are attracted to different plants?

Just one. As the animal crawls into the flower to collect nectar, pollen from the animal moves onto the next flower, some of the pollen brushes off onto the pistil when the insect goes to the next flower.


How is cow parsley pollinated?

Cow parsley is primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies. As these insects feed on the nectar of the flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen between them, facilitating the reproductive process of the plant.


Why do insects and birds get attracted to the flowers?

It depends upon the flower. Some flowers are beautiful to attract insects or birds. Some flowers look like the mate of the insect that pollinates them. Some flowers have pretty colors to guide the insects to where the nectar is, kind of like a person waving flags on a runway for planes. The insects are looking for nectar and the plant wants to be pollinated. so it puts the pollen very close to the nectar so the insect gets pollen on it while gathering the nectar. The nectar is the insect's reward for picking up the pollen. Then when it flies to another plant, it pollinates it while getting more nectar. But the flowers have designed themselves to either trick the insect or to invite the insect to it.

Is a hibiscus an insect pollinated flower or a wind pollinated flower?

Hibiscus flowers are primarily insect-pollinated, relying on bees, butterflies, and other insects to transfer pollen between flowers for successful pollination. This is due to the structure of the flower, which is designed to attract and accommodate specific pollinators.

Insect-pollinated flowers can also be pollinated by wind why?

Insect-pollinated flowers may still be pollinated by wind as a backup method to ensure successful pollination in case insect activity is limited. Wind can help transfer pollen between flowers when insects are scarce or when weather conditions are unfavorable for insect pollination. This redundancy increases the chances of successful pollination and seed production for the plant.


Are wind pollinated plants attractive?

That is a matter of taste. Grasses (the prime example) can be very attractive. It is the flower not the plants being attractive in case of insect pollinated and not so attractive in case of wind pollinated.


What kind of Stigma does an insect pollinated flower have?

Yes because insects are attracted to the pollen in flowers.


Is stigma a insect polinated plant?

No, stigma is not an insect pollinated plant. The stigma is actually a part of the flower's female reproductive system that receives pollen during pollination. Insect-pollinated plants rely on insects to transfer pollen between flowers for fertilization.


Which part must be able to find in a flower to conclude that it is a insect pollinated flower?

Colourful petals. Plants that are not insect-pollinated are most often inconspicuous such as grass (which does have flowers!) or pines (which don't really have flowers but to produce massive amounts of pollen in spring, just because the wind is so random).
