HEY MATE!

Insect pollinated flowers has features that allow insects, birds, or other animals to pollinate them when they feed on the nectar. The pollen grains will stick onto the outer covering of the insect and when the insect brushes pass the stigma of the same flower or another flower, the pollen grains will stick onto the stigma of the flower and pollinate the flower. the pollen grain will then grow a pollen tube down the style to reach the ovary which contains the ovules, and when the two sex cells fuse, fertilisation will take place and the ovule will develop into a seed and the ovary a fruit.

To maximise the chance of fertilisation taking place, 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

Examples of such flowers are rose, hibiscus, sunflowers, etc.

On the other hand, wind pollinated flowers do not need pollinators as the pollen grains fall off when wind blows past onto the stigma.

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

Examples of such flowers are grass, rice, corn, barley, etc.................
