Question

In angiosperms, flowers are adaptations for reproduction. Which of the following does NOT usually describe flowers that are pollinated by animals?
A. They are tiny.

B. They are brightly colored.

C. They produce nectar to attract pollinators.

D. They pollinate more efficiently than wind-pollinated plants

Answer 1

So let's use the process of elimination:

A. They are tiny. - Right off the bat, something should have struck a chord on this answer. If an animal is pollinating it, why is the flower so small?

B. They are brightly colored. - Seems logical, bright-colors=more attention from animals

C. They produce nectar to attract pollinators. - Also possible, if you want the animals to pollinate, you have to have an incentive.

D. They pollinate more efficiently than wind-pollinated plants - not necessarily true, so might be an answer, but A is better

A would be the best answer for this question
