Explanation:
• Pollen grains are tiny structures produced by the male reproductive organ of flowering plants.
• They are responsible for the transfer of male genetic material to the female reproductive organ, resulting in the formation of seeds.
• Pollen grains are an important source of nutrients for many animals, including bees, butterflies, and birds.
• However, some people are allergic to certain types of pollen, and exposure to it can cause severe allergies and bronchial afflictions.
• Flowers pollinated by flies and bats often secrete foul odours to attract them, as these animals are attracted to the smell of decaying matter.
• Honey is made by bees by digesting nectar collected from flowers, not pollen. Pollen is primarily used by bees as a source of protein.
• Pollen grains are indeed rich in nutrients, and they are often consumed in the form of tablets and syrups as a dietary supplement.
