Question

what is a pollinator?
an animal that transfers pollen from flower to flower
a colorful flower that attracts insects
an insect that makes pollen
a flower that produces fruit for animals to eat

Explanation:

A pollinator is an organism (often an animal) that helps in the transfer of pollen from the male part (anther) of a flower to the female part (stigma) of another flower. This transfer is crucial for plant reproduction.

• Option 1: An animal that transfers pollen from flower to flower. This is correct as pollinators like bees, butterflies etc. transfer pollen.
• Option 2: A colorful flower that attracts insects. The flower is the plant part, not the pollinator.
• Option 3: An insect that makes pollen. Insects do not make pollen; plants produce pollen.
• Option 4: A flower that produces fruit for animals to eat. This describes a fruit - producing flower, not a pollinator.

Answer:

an animal that transfers pollen from flower to flower
