Outline the characteristics of insect-pollinated flowers.

Answers


Francis

- Large flowers with brightly colored petals to attract insects.
- Flowers are usually sweet smelling or fragrant with nectar present.
- Stigmas are usually small, compact and do not protrude out of the flower.
- Stamens are not pendulous and are located within the interiors of the flower, so that pollen can stick on the backs of pollinators as they brush against the anthers.
- Nectar guides present to guide the pollinators towards the nectar.
