Question

You are on an expedition into a tropical rainforest. You notice a tall plant with large, long, conical purple flowers that produce nectar. When you ask your guide about the plant, she pulls out a large pink fruit from her bag and explains that it is from the plant with the purple flowers. After tasting the fruit, you decide to bring the plant back home and cultivate it. Because you live in a different climate than the rainforest, you decide to grow the plants in a greenhouse. You are surprised when, after a few months, no fruit is growing. What can be inferred from this observation?

Answer 1

Answer: The plant needs a pollinator as it does not pollinates itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant that was found in the rain forest grow there because of the climatic conditions. There was adequate amount of rain fall and optimum temperature in the forest.

It was pollinated by the insects as rain forest has different types of organisms living in there.

When that was grown in greenhouse effect there was no growth of fruits in the plant because there was no pollinator in the green house chamber.
