    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…
