Question

Differentiate between Insect pollination and wind pollination.

Answer 1

Pollination which takes with the help of insects is called insect pollination and the pollination which take place with the help of wind is called wind pollination.
pollliantion- transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma.

insect pollination is called as entomophily
wind pollination is called as Anemophily

Answer 2

Maize is a wind-pollinated flower.

The female flowers (silk) are exposed, the pollens are copious so they can still be sufficient for pollination in spite of waste, the anthers are loosely held on the filaments enabling unhindered pollen dispersal.

These are the basic conditions for wind to be an agent of pollination.

An insect-pollinated flower must be able to attract insects.

This is ensured by beautiful coloration of petals, the flowers must have nectaries from which insects collect nectar for food; in some cases like in the family Fabaceae the flower is equipped with a standard petal on which insects can land when they visit.

In the Ficus family, the flowers are turned inward and a hole called an ostiole is provided to let in ants for pollination.

Nature has taken care of all the stages of reproduction to ensure the continuity of life.
