List two agents of pollination

What is pollination? Name the different agencies of pollination.

Pollinating agentsThe pollen-pistil interaction begins with pollination, followed by pollen adhesion to the stigma.After it adheres, it imbibes water and gets hydrated which initiates pollen tube germination.There are different agents of pollination like wind, insects, birds and water.Anemophilous flowers are pollinated by the agency of wind. These flowers are small andinconspicuous.. The pollen grains are very light, non-sticky and sometimes winged.Entomophilic flowers are pollinated by insects. These flowers are often attractive to look at withbright petals and are fragrant to attract the insect visitors to them. They often have broadstigmas or anthers to allow the insect to perch on it. Many of the insect-pollinated flowers alsosecrete nectar which attracts bees, butterflies or other similar insects to the flowers. The pollengrain surface of such flowers produce mucilaginous secretion.Hydrophilic flowers are pollinated by water. It is commonly found in algae, bryophytes,pteridophytes and some angiosperms. The pollen grains may have a mucilaginous covering toprotect it from getting wet.i The pollinating agent of an inflorescence of small dull coloured flowers with well exposedstamens and large feathery stigma isa. Water b. Wind c. Insects d. Birds.ii An example of biotic agent for pollination isa. Air b. Water c. Honey bee d. All of the aboveiii The pollen grains in the flowers are generally sticky that help them toa. stick on to the body of the insects b. float on waterc. float in the air d. fall on the ground safely.iv Which of the following statements seem to describe the water-pollinated submerged plants?a. The flowers do not produce nectar.b. The flower petals are not brightly coloured.c. The pollen grains have mucilaginous covering.d. The female flowers have long stalk to reach the surface.ORAssertion: The pollen grains are easily carried by the wind.Reason: They are very light and sometimes winged.a. Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.b. Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of theassertion .c. Assertion is true but the reason is false.d. Both assertion and reason are false
