pollinated flower and an insect pollinated
flower​

Answer 1

insect pollinated flowers usually have:

• Large, scented and brightly coloured petals to attract pollinators
• Filaments and anthers inside the flower
• Stigma(s) inside the flower
• Large and sticky/spiky pollen grains
• Small and sticky stigma
• Nectar for pollinators to feed on

Wind pollinated flowers usually have:

• Small and dull coloured petals
• Filaments and anthers hanging out of the flower
• Stigma(s) hanging out of the flower
• Small and dry pollen grains
• Large and feathery stigma to catch the pollen grains that are blown off
• No nectar
