Sproutling — Flowers & Pollination Bloomlight Grove
Hi!
I'm Sproutling.
Welcome to Bloomlight Grove!
Will you help me investigate flowers & pollination?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Many flowers have parts that produce pollen and parts that receive it.
Pollination moves pollen to a compatible receiving flower part.
What moves during pollination?
- A. Pollen
- B. A fully grown tree
- C. A rock fragment
The answer is A: Pollen
Many flowers have parts that produce pollen and parts that receive it.
Pollination moves pollen to a compatible receiving flower part.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Animals or wind can help move pollen.
Successful pollination can be followed by fertilization and seed development;
one visit does not guarantee seeds.
What can help transfer pollen?
- A. Only roots underground
- B. Only sunlight with no carrier
- C. Animals or wind
The answer is C: Animals or wind
Animals or wind can help move pollen.
Successful pollination can be followed by fertilization and seed development;
one visit does not guarantee seeds.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our visitor brushes pollen from one compatible flower onto another's receiving surface.
That is a pollen-transfer clue, not a seed already traveling away.
What may follow successful pollination?
- A. Instant adult plants
- B. Seed development
- C. Guaranteed instant fruit at every visit
The answer is B: Seed development
Animals or wind can help move pollen.
Successful pollination can be followed by fertilization and seed development;
one visit does not guarantee seeds.
