3.3a insect pollination

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

transfer from the planter to the stigma of the other flower

if pollens go from one plant to another is called cross pollination 

the flower attracts the insects with their signal :
- colour petals
--> insects can see colours
- scents
--> detect the molecules
- value
--> food ( nectaries) / producing fructose

eggs in the plants are called ovules


-pollen as a source of proteins
