What attracts insects to flowers
Answers
Answer:
Flowers are known to attract pollinating insects through a variety of means, from alluring fragrances and nectar to vibrant colors and shapes. According to a new study in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, scientists can now add an unlikely mechanism to the list: movement. Researchers from the University of Aberystwyth in Wales observed 300 specific coastal flowers, noting stem lengths, the range of swaying distance, how often and how long they were visited by insects, and how many seeds were ultimately produced.
Those flowers with long and thin stems proved to be the most attractive to insects and produced the most seeds. The scientists concluded their swaying motions made them most visible among others. There are practical limits, however. Those flowers with terribly long stems moved too much to allow insects to make a stable landing and so were generally avoided. Similarly, the flowers with shorter stems were less visited since they were hard to differentiate from the crowd

Q5.explain why pollination is important to plants?
Ans. with adequate pollination, wildflowers: reproduce and produce enough seeds for dispersal and propagation maintain Genetic diversity within a population. develop adequate fruits to entice seed dispersers.
Q2. the life cycle of flowering plants?
Ans. The major Stages of the flower life cycle are the seed, germination, growth, reproduction, pollination, and seed spreading stages. the plant life cycle starts with a seed; every seed holds a miniature plant called the embryo. There are two types of flowering plants seeds: dicots and monocots
