(3.3)b)- Wind Pollination:

Describe the structures of a wind-pollinated flower and explain how each is adapted for pollination-

·         Pollination: transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another

·         Transfer of pollen grain from anther to the stigma through air carried by the wind

·         Adaptations of Pollination:

o    Light weight pollen grains

o    Anthers are exposed to the wind

o    Stigma- large surface area to catch pollen grains

·         Wind- Pollination:

o    No Colour

o    No Scent

o    No Food
