- Pollination by wind is called: A. anemophily B. hydrophily C. zoophily D. entomophilyarrow_forwardSome plants in wetter climates release certain chemicals in response to leaf consumption by insects. These chemicals may either repel the leaf-eaters and/or attract other insects that will consume the leaf-eaters. A researcher was interested in whether desert plants emitted the same types of compounds. Desert plants have different kinds of leaves compared to plants from less arid areas. The researcher harvested Coville’s lip fern (Cheilanthes covillei) from deserts in Utah to bring into a greenhouse. The plants were 12 – 15 cm (5 – 6 in) tall. Each plant was placed in a separate pot, and there were 40 pots in all. Each pot was assigned to one of four “leaf eater” treatments: a control (i.e., no insects); 5 hornworms; 5 leaf bugs; or 5 flea beetles. Then the researcher measured the emission rate of a particular repelling compound from each plant once every hour for a total of 8 hours (8:00 am – 4:00 pm).
