Question

Flowers which are pollinated by insects are

• A. Small in size
• B. Colourless
• C. Large, coloured and scented
• D. Very large in size

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

• Insect-pollinated flowers have large, bright, scented and colourful petals so that insects would be attracted to the flower.
• Also, they have nectar near the receptacle on the interior of the flower. So, the insects will enter the flower and can aid in pollination where the pollen grains from the anther in the flower gets scraped onto the insect to be transferred to the stigma of another flower. This form of pollination is known as Entomophily

So, the correct answer is 'Large, coloured and scented'
