Flowers produce a fine powder called pollen, which is carried by the wind or by insects to other flowers of the same type so that they can produce seeds.

How many of you have answered the exam ? Did you find it difficult?
I think that all students want our exams to be as easy as this one.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this

It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
