Question- is color the only way that flower attract pollinators​

Answer- From what I remember, yes color is the only way that flowers attract pollinators.

Explanation- Many flowers use colours to attract insects, sometimes helped by coloured guiding marks. Some have ultraviolet marks that can be seen by insects but are invisible to human eyes. Colours can't be seen in the dark, so scent is important for flowers that are pollinated by night-flying insects such as moths.

I hope that this helps you understand more clearly. I hope that you and your family are well during this pandemic. You all have my prayers . Please stay home and stay safe. With all that said, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Answer:

Plants have a number of different means to attract pollinators, with bright, showy colors being one of the most common ways to maximize their visual effect. Flowers, in essence, are attention getters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether one or dozens, white or flaming fuchsia, flower petals show off for pollinators. Flower petals modify petal shape, color, scent, sensitivity and patterns to attract pollinators. Both flower and pollinator enjoy rewards through the process of mutual-ism. The flower spends less energy on pollen production and is successfully pollinated.

There you go, good luck bro.
