Question

Refer to the given statements.
(i) Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar.
(ii) Entomophilous flowers are large, colourful, fragrant and rich in nectar.
(iii) Kigelia pinnata is an insect pollinated flower.
Which of the above statement is/are incorrect ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Flowers are colourful and produce nectar to attract insects like houseflies, butterflies, etc. for pollination by insects. This is not necessary for wind and water pollinated flowers. Therefore, they aren't very colourful and don't produce nectar.

Entomophily or insect pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen of plants, especially but not only offlowering plants, is distributed by insects. Flowers pollinated by insects typically advertise themselves with bright colours, sometimes with conspicuous patterns (honey guides) leading to rewards of pollen and nectar; they may also have an attractive scent which in some cases mimics insect pheromones. 

Kigelia pinnata is an insect pollinated flower. ... Kigelia pinnata (sausage tree) is an example of chiropterophilous flower. In chiropterphily, cross pollination is performed by bats. Chiropterophilous flowers are dull-coloured with strong fermenting or fruit odour, abundant nectar and pollen grains.
