What will the catkins turn into after the bee visits them?
-
Leaves
-
Twigs
-
Roots
-
Little black seeds with tiny fluffy parts to help them blow in the wind
Correct Answer
A. Little black seeds with tiny fluffy parts to help them blow in the windExplanation
After the bee visits the catkins, they will turn into little black seeds with tiny fluffy parts to help them blow in the wind. This is because the bee helps in the pollination process by transferring pollen from the male catkins to the female flowers, leading to the formation of seeds. The fluffy parts on the seeds help them disperse through the wind, allowing for potential growth in new locations.Rate this question:

What eats the nectar in the flowers?
-
Pigeons
-
Adult Bumblebees and other pollinating insects
-
Mice
-
Willow warblers
Correct Answer
A. Adult Bumblebees and other pollinating insectsExplanation
Adult bumblebees and other pollinating insects eat the nectar in flowers. These insects play a vital role in pollination, as they transfer pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female parts, allowing the plant to reproduce. Nectar is a sugary liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators, and it serves as a source of energy for these insects. Pigeons, mice, and willow warblers do not typically feed on nectar, making them incorrect choices for this question.Rate this question:

What do adult bumblebees feed to their babies?
-
Cheerios
-
Milk
-
Pollen from the flowers
-
Honey
Correct Answer
A. Pollen from the flowersExplanation
Adult bumblebees feed pollen from the flowers to their babies. Pollen is a rich source of protein and other nutrients, making it an ideal food for the developing larvae. Bumblebees collect pollen from flowers using their specialized mouthparts and transport it back to their nests. Once inside the nest, the adult bumblebees regurgitate the pollen and mix it with nectar to create a nutritious paste-like substance called "bee bread." This bee bread is then fed to the young bumblebee larvae, ensuring their proper growth and development.Rate this question:

What kind of habitat do willow trees like to grow in?
-
Very dry dusty places
-
Wet and damp ground, edges of rivers and lakes
-
Tops of mountains
-
At the low tide mark surrounded by seaweeds
Correct Answer
A. Wet and damp ground, edges of rivers and lakesExplanation
Willow trees prefer to grow in wet and damp habitats, such as the edges of rivers and lakes. This is because willow trees have adapted to thrive in areas with high water availability. The wet and damp ground provides the necessary moisture for their roots, and the proximity to rivers and lakes ensures a constant water supply. Additionally, willow trees have a high tolerance for flooding, making them well-suited for these types of habitats.Rate this question:
