    How do pollinators get attracted to flowers?

    Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies For our ecology to survive and for food production to occur, pollination is essential. Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies. Brightly coloured petals in hues like yellow, red, and blue are designed to catch the attention of specific pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, each of which may be drawn to different colours. For the male reproductive cells (pollen) to reach the female reproductive parts (ovaries), all seed plants must be pollinated. This preserves genetic variation and enables the plants to generate seeds for species propagation. In order for pollinators to locate them, flowers have evolved to exhibit clues. In addition, pollinators are frequently compensated with nectar for the “service” they render. Many flowers also emit enticing fragrances that signal the presence of nectar, creating an appealing invitation for pollinators to…

      Future Apple iPhone models to have a USB-C port? New EU law may force Apple to ditch ‘iconic’ Lightning port

      Apple iPhone 15 models launching next year or iPhones launching in 2024 will be forced to feature USB-C ports due to the new law passed by EU parliament.

In many disaster- and outage-prone areas, people are starting to ask whether investing in rooftop solar and battery storage systems can keep the lights on and the air conditioner running when the power grid can’t. When the grid goes down, most solar systems that lack a battery will also shut down. But with batteries, a home can disconnect from the grid. Each day, the sun powers the home and charges up…
