3.3a: Describe the structures of an insect-pollinated and wind-pollinated flower and explain how each is adapted for pollination.

  • 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.
