QUESTION ABOUT PLANTSS!! their structure...etc. please help!?

1. How does a pollen grain get to the stigma of a pistil?





2. how does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination?

QUESTION ABOUT PLANTSS!! their structure...etc. please help!?
1. Pollen grains are distributed many ways. Insects pollinate plants, some plants use wind to disperse their pollen, and birds (like hummingbirds) sometimes aid pollination, too. There are other ways, but I think these three are good enough for your question.





2. A stigma is long and projects itself from the flower far enough to catch pollen grains in whatever way they are dispersed. Some have a sticky substance on its tip to catch the pollen grains and hold them.





Kinda vague, but it's been awhile since I took botany class. Hope it helped!
Reply:Good job with the explanation, Kalani. It's been a while since I taught botany at a university, but you explained it accurately and clearly.
