Read the following passage carefully.
Why do Flowers have Fragrances?
Flowers get their scent from a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
produced by the plant. The fragrance is often strongest in the petals. Different
flowering plant species have a diversity of VOCs and no two fragrances are the
same. The purpose of scent is to attract pollinators and repel herbivores.
Flowers also use colour and shape to attract pollinators.
The scent is strongest when a flower is ready for pollination – a full bloom’s
smell is more powerful than a bud’s. Strongest emissions also coincide with the
active phase of visiting pollinators. Plants pollinated by moths usually emit the
most fragrance in the evening or night (when moths are active), while plants
pollinated by bees produce the most scent during the day (when bees are
active).
