blog post #4

1. Check out Fayetteville's pollen forecast. Which is affecting us the most right now: tree, grass, or weed pollen? Specifically, which trees, grasses, or weeds?

- Oak trees.

2. "You're Surrounded by Pollen," so read this article. What is needed for a "perfect storm" of pollen?

- Compressed flower season with dry and windy weather.

3. Choose a microscopic image of pollen. Which one looks the best to you? Why? Where is this pollen commonly found? Write a paragraph in your own words explaining this specific type of pollen. Include a cool-looking picture. You may need to use other websites to help you.

- I think the penta anther looks the coolest because it looks spungier that the others. It is commonly found in flowers and transferred to other flowers by insects.

The penta anther pollen when put in other flowers stores more pollen and lets it out later when it is full. This is a big cause of pollination. It has pores which it stores other things and lets them back out.
