Answer:

The orchid might produce pheromones that resemble female wasp pheromones.

Explanation:

Orchids are a large family of flowering plants. Some orchids developed a great technique of pollination. They resemble and stink like female insect for example like female wash which attracts male wasp towards them.

So attracted by pheromone released by orchid, male wasp try to copulate with the orchid flower and in that process pollen of that orchid stick on the male wasp and when the same wasp goes to next flower it transfers the pollen of one orchid to other orchid. So this helps in pollination in some orchids.

Therefore pheromones produce by orchid which resembles pheromones produced by female wasp might be the reason of visiting of only male wasp on flower of these orchids.

What type of energy powers the cell growht
77julia77 [94]
Complex organic food molecules such as sugars, fats, and proteins are rich sources of energy for cells because much of the energy used to form these molecules is literally stored within the chemical bonds that hold them together. Scientists can measure the amount of energy stored in foods using a device called a bomb calorimeter. With this technique, food is placed inside the calorimeter and heated until it burns. The excess heat released by the reaction is directly proportional to the amount of energy contained in the food.
