Pollen protects the gametes from environmental dangers and allows the gametes to travel without water. This in turn allows the gametes to travel longer distances and to more diverse environments

What is the process in which pollen from one plant is used?
Pollen that is received from another plant is called pollination. Pollination occurs when insects and animals gather pollen on their bodies and will disperse it while moving around other plants.
Honey bees collect?
The worker bees go out to collect pollen and nectar which they bring back to the Hive for food and to make honey. Honey bees eat honey and pollen as their primary food, but they also gather liquids and juices from plant and fruit exudates. When honey bees come across insects that secrete honeydew, they gather the liquid and store it as honey. When pollen, nectar, or honeydew aren't available, honey bees can collect and store plant spores and dusty animal feed as well.
How much pollen can a bee carry?
It depends on the sise of the bee.
What is the major difference between the gametophytes of a seedlees plant and a seed plant?
Seed plants are flowering plants so they product pollen that land on the female ovule and then produce a pollen tube that releases 2 sperm to fertilize the ovum and the polar nuclei and these form into a seed. In other seedless plants like algae and mosses the plants produce spores which are similar to pollen and many different versions of female gametes. To be honest seedless plants have many different life cycles that are much more in depth so the fertilization process and the maturation of the plants are very different.
Why do flowers produce so many pollen?
Flowers produce so much pollen to increase the chances of one grain managing to fertilise.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of producing many small leaves instead of fewer large leaves?
An advantage of a plant or tree having small leaves is not needing much water.
What is the process in which pollen from one plant is used?
Pollen that is received from another plant is called pollination. Pollination occurs when insects and animals gather pollen on their bodies and will disperse it while moving around other plants.
What is the role of the flower in the life cycle of a plant?
Pollen. Pollen is what allows plants to reproduce by cross-pollenation, much like male and female in the human species. The pollen is distributed by bees and other insects, or by the wind shaking the flower and releasing pollen to be born to other plants.
When a bee lands on a flower some pollen gets stuck to its legs why is this useful to the plant?
The bee sucks the pollen from the flower, and flowers can make too much pollen so it can die. The bee also transfers pollen to other plants, which allows the plants to seed and spread.
How much energy does a power plant consume while producing energy?
The question is too vague to answer.
How much protein in bee pollen?
The protein level of pollen varies according to the type of plant from which it is collected, the time of year, and the general weather conditions, but it is usually between 17 and 23 per cent.
Differentiate cross pollination from self pollination?
Self pollination is where the plant is able to pollinate without another plant. This provides much less variation in the genetics of the species from generation to generation than cross pollination which is where the pollen from one plant is carried to another plant (bees usually do this) and fertilizes the other plant. It creates more genetic diversity because the genes from both plants, which are different, are involved in the forming of the seed, not just the genes from the one self-pollinating plant.--------------------------------------------IMPROVEDSelf pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, another flower on the same plant, or the flower of a plant of the same clone. Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution.
What is the advantage of seed production to a flowering plant?
If a flowering plant produces seeds as well as pollen, it has a much better chance of propagating. The range of dispersion is increased, so there is more likelihood that the plant will be able to reproduce.
How much pollen can a bee hold?
alot.There is a uncountable amount of pollen.
How much coal is required for 1 mw power plant?
3.5 tonns of coal is required for producing 1 mw
How do you put pollen in a sentence?
"I am allergic to pollen." "You must be sneezing so much because it's pollen season."
What is the polynation?
Pollination is the process by which plants become fertilized. Pollination occurs when small grains of pollen are transferred from the male sexual organ of the plant, the anther, to the female sexual organ of the plant, the stigma. Pollination enables reproduction. Pollen blows through the air but much of the fertilization is due to bees and other insects, and some birds.
