3.3b Wind Pollination

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



-transfer of pollen grain from anther to stigma.


adaptations
-light weight pollen grain some sort of wing feature to move through the air efficiently,
- anther will hang well clear out of any basic flower structure so it is exposed to the wind.
-stigma- large surface area, feather like structure to catch pollen grain.
- grass- no colour in petal, no scent, no nectaries to attract insects as it is a waste of energy and it is wind pollenated.
