Read the following “Butterfly” text to answer questions number 1-5

Flowers

The main function of a tree's flowers is to produce seeds which will grow into new trees. Flowers contain the tree’s reproductive parts. They can be male or female or contain both male and female parts. Willows and poplars have male flowers on one tree and female on another. Most conifers have separate clusters of male and female flowers on the same tree. The wind carries pollen from the male flowers to fertilize the female flowers.

A flower’s shape, color, and smell are designed to transfer male pollen grains to the female parts efficiently. Pollen is mainly transferred by insects or wind. Plants that rely on insects carriers have evolved brightly-colored, sweetly-scented flowers that have a landing platform for insects. Warm climates, birds and bats transfer pollen when they fly from flower to flower sipping nectar.

Pollination

For a new seed to grow, male pollen grains must reach the female ovules, which are contained in the ovary in the carpel. This is called pollination. Even if a flower contains both male and female parts, it very rarely pollinates itself. Pollen usually travels from the male parts of a flower to female parts of a different flower-this is called pollination.

The design of a tree’s flowers shows how they are pollinated. Willow catkins use the wind to carry their pollen. Their dangling shape allows the wind to scatter the pollen grains. Flowers pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies, attract them with their color, smell, and a store of sweet nectar to eat. Pollen sticks to the insects’ legs and hairy backs, and is carried to the next flower they visit where it may join with an ovule.

Komodo Dragon

The Komodo dragon, Varanus Komodoensis, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae). Komodo dragons are the world’s heaviest living lizards. They can grow to a length of 10 feet (over 3 meters), with an average length of 8 feet (2.5 meters) and weight of 200 lbs (91 kg). Females are usually under 8 feet and weigh about 150 lbs (68 kg).

The natural habitat of komodo dragons is extremely harsh by human standards. These arid volcanic islands have steep slopes and little available water most of the year. A short monsoon season often produces local flooding. The averge annual temperature at sea level on Komodo island is 80 F degrees. Dragons are most abundant in the lower arid forest and savanna.

In the wild, Komodo dragons are generally solitary animals, except during the breeding season. Males maintain and defend a territory and patrol up to 1.2 miles (2 km) per day.
