Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants that rely on nocturnal bats for pollination often open their flowers at night and close them during the day, as this is when the bats are active. This is in contrast to plants that are pollinated by insects, which typically have flowers that are open during the day. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because there is no relationship between the brightness of the petal colors and the type of pollinator. Option C is also incorrect as the location of the stamen is not related to the type of pollinator.
