describe four DIFFERENCES between a wind pollinated flower and an insect pollinated flower label the diagram

Explanation:

Insect pollinated flowers have features that allow birds or INSECTS to pollinate them when they  come to feed on the nectar. The grains of pollen stick on the BIRD or insect and they are passed onto the stigma of another flower when the bird or insect PERCH on the flower.Thus pollination takes place.

insect pollinated flowers usually have the following features:

  • Huge, scented and brightly colored petals to attract insects
  • Filaments and anthers are FOUND inside the flowers
  • The Stigma(s)  are also found inside the flower
  • Large and sticky/spiky pollen grains  to stick on the sides of the insect
  • Small and sticky stigma  to receive the pollen grains
