How do both the bee and the plant it visits benefit from pollination?

Bees: special hairs on their legs and abdomen allow them to collect large amounts of pollen
Plants: transfer pollen to other plants

Why pollination is an example of mutualism?
Pollination is an example because both organisms benefit from whatever they are doing. In this case it involves pollination.
What is the similarities of pollination and fertilization?
They are both part of plant reproduction
How is self-pollination and cross-pollination alike?
Both result in fertilesation of a flower. sel from the same flower cross from another flower on a different plant.
What is self pollination of plant?
Self-pollination is a form of pollination that can occur when a flower has both stamen and a carpel in which the cultivar or species is self fertile and the stamens and the sticky stigma of the carpel contact each other to accomplish pollination. The term is inaccurately used in many cases where an outside pollinator is actually required; such plants are merely self fertile, or self pollenizing.
Does pollination happen in both plant cells and root hair cells?
no it does not , just plants :D
Which associations would benefit both a fungus and a plant?
mycorrhizae
What is the difference between self pollination and cross pollination'?
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
Differentiate cross pollination from self pollination?
Self pollination is where the plant is able to pollinate without another plant. This provides much less variation in the genetics of the species from generation to generation than cross pollination which is where the pollen from one plant is carried to another plant (bees usually do this) and fertilizes the other plant. It creates more genetic diversity because the genes from both plants, which are different, are involved in the forming of the seed, not just the genes from the one self-pollinating plant.--------------------------------------------IMPROVEDSelf pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, another flower on the same plant, or the flower of a plant of the same clone. Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution.
Which type of pollination is better self or cross pollination?
Both types of pollination have advantages. Self pollination allows a plant to reproduce even if there are no other plants of the same type nearby. Cross pollination can serve to prevent the extinction of a species due to a lack of genetic variation.
What is the relationship between pollination and Fertilization?
No. The process of the joining of male and female reproductive cells is fertilization. The word is often misapplied to pollination which is a preliminary to fertilization in plants. The two are often confused.
Why do many pollinators have wings?
That pollination may involve female and male parts located on different plants is a reason why many pollinators have wings. Scientists term it self-pollination when both parts are found on the same plant and cross-pollination -- which requires pollinating organisms and winds -- when the parts are distanced.
Is the relationship between a plant and it and pollinator mutualistic?
yes, because they both benefit .the Bee get the nectar from the plant and other plants get pollinated
