Over time, a plant pollinated by a hummingbird has developed very long, tube-like flowers. Why might the flower have adapted in this way?

A)The longer, tube-shaped flowers probably developed to keep the hummingbird from reaching and drinking the flower's nectar.

B)The longer, tube-shaped flowers probably developed so that the hummingbird must stick its head in the flower to drink the nectar.

C)The longer, tube-shaped flowers probably developed so that pollen would not fall into them as a hummingbird flies past.

D)The longer, tube-shaped flowers probably developed so that hummingbirds could land on them.(I PICK THIS)

let's use the process of limitation: d is definitely out of the question; there's pollen already in the flower so it's not c is out; a flower needs the help of a hummingbird to pollinate the flower so it's also not a; so that leaves us with b people think about it

its B

Stop saying stuff like that and help us out

How do the cherries on a cherry tree help that plant reproduce

Hummingbirds do not land on the flowers. They drink while in flight.

I don't think it is d. Someone help!!!

Sooo its A?

C? PsyDAG?

What is it ??????????????????

yea it its prob B because when a humming bird sticks its head into the flower its gets pollen on their head and gives it to the flower it think?
