Detailed explanation-1: -Bees, butterflies, beetles, wasps, ants, moths, birds and bats are common pollinating agents. The colorful petals of flowers attract insects for pollination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many flowers use visual cues to attract pollinators: showy petals and sepals, nectar guides, shape, size, and color.
Detailed explanation-3: -Petals are modified leaves that envelop a flower’s reproductive organs. Petals make up the corolla. They’re brightly colored to attract pollinators like insects on them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Petal size and variety will depend on the plant’s strategy for pollination. Plants that can take advantage of wind for pollination will tend to have smaller flowers. Plants that must attract insects and birds for pollination will tend to be larger and have more petals to stand out from competing plants.
