    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…

      Apple faces up to $8 billion revenue hit due to China lockdowns

      San Francisco: The ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns in China are set to make a huge dent in Apple revenue for the April-June quarter as the company has indicated up to $8 billion loss in sales especially owing to the Shanghai lockdown.

What would happen to our communities, our businesses, and our government if we couldn’t trust what we read, heard or saw? Right now, we are in a time where sensationalism is rewarded because it attracts attention and manipulates beliefs and drives people to act. News consumption patterns have changed and hate-mongering is spreading online, which is adding fuel to the fire, especially with the online flaming happening because of two rival political groups. This we have seen during the American and Indian elections.https://e7323025d6d4b99bc62cd1160655310e.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html Enterprise companies are writing and creating blatantly false content and putting it on the internet with the objective of generating traffic and advertising revenue, and…
