If some flowers are not pollinated by insects but by wind Do you think such flowers are as attractive as insect-pollinated ones?
Wind-pollinated flowers tend to be less showy and colorful compared to insect-pollinated flowers which are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract insects. However, the structure of wind-pollinated flowers is specialized for efficient wind dispersal of pollen, which is important for their reproduction. So, while they may not be as visually attractive to us, they are still well-adapted for their method of pollination.
Flowers that are pollinated by the wind have smaller petals and sepals that are pollinated by insects or animals why are small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers?
Small petals and sepals in wind-pollinated flowers reduce the weight and drag, making it easier for the wind to carry pollen between flowers. This adaptation helps to increase the chances of successful pollination in these plants that rely on wind for pollination.
How do silver birch flowers pollinate?

Why are wind pollinated flowers not usually brightly colored?
Wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers as they are not pollinated by animals, insects or birds. Since wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers, they might as well put their energy into making their pollen lighter, or more of it.

Wind pollinated flowers do not make nectar why?
Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
Grass flowers do not have strong fragrances or bright colors. How might these characteristics be related to the way by which grass flowers are pollinated?
Grasses and grains are wind-pollinated, and plants are seed pollinated. There is a difference.
