What is pollination?
Answer
Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of plants, facilitating fertilisation.
Why is pollination important for plants?
Answer
Pollination helps in fertilisation. Without pollen transfer from anther to stigma, seed formation and reproduction in flowering plants cannot take place properly.
Which parts of a flower are involved in pollination?
Answer
The anther and the stigma are involved. Pollen grains move from the anther to the stigma during pollination.
Name the agents of pollination.
Answer
Wind, water, insects, and birds are agents of pollination.
How do insects help plants during pollination?
Answer
Insects visit plants to suck nectar. While doing so, pollen grains get transferred from one flower to another, helping the plant in pollination.
Why is pollination called a mutualistic interaction?
Answer
Pollination is a mutualistic interaction because both organisms benefit. Insects get nectar, and plants get help in pollen transfer.
Explain the relationship between nectar and pollination.
Answer
Nectar attracts insects to flowers. When insects come to suck nectar, they carry pollen grains on their bodies and help in pollination.
What should be observed on an insect’s body to confirm insect-mediated pollination?
Answer
Pollen grains should be seen attached to the body parts of the insect. This shows that the insect is helping in pollination.
