How do flowers reward their insect pollinators? Explain.

Flowering plants evolved an array of adaptations to achieve pollination. Point out adaptations found in flowers for insect pollination and wind pollination.

In large number of plants, pollination is carried out by insects. List four characters of flowers that helps insect pollination.

Which of the following are the important floral rewards to the animal pollinators?

Wind pollinated flowers are

Three different flowers are given to you in the practical class (i) Maize (ii) Vallisneria (iii) Rose. You are asked to group them based on pollination agents. Describe the adaptations of each flower related with the agents of pollination.

Enumerate the adaptive floral features of wind pollinated and insect pollinated plants.

When the pollen is transferred from anther to the stigma of the same flower, the pollination is called autogamy. Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. Explain.

You are supplied with different flowers - paddy, vallisneria and sunflower. (a)Write down the type of pollination among these flowers. (b) Write down any one of the floral characters to suit the pollination.
