3.3b Wind Pollination

1. The pollen grains transfer from the anther to the stigma through air carried by the wind

Adaptations:

2. Light weight

3. Wing Feature

3. The anthers are exposed so that they are able to catch the wind

4. The stigmas have a very large surface so that they are able to catch the pollen grains more easily.

5. There is no colour in the petals because it does not need to attract the insects. It also does not have a scent or any nectories as this would just be a waste of energy
