- Pollination of a flower has to be transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the other.
- Pollen is a male plant. These processes are transfer by insect. By the flowers attract the insect.
- If pollen goes trough one plant to another this is call cross-pollination.
- Flowers can attract insects by:
- Signal (colour petal)
- Scent (detected molecule)
- Value (produce sugar called fructose)
- Pollen it self as a source of protein.
