Question

Flies are scavengers and ten to break down dead organisms based on this information what is a plant characteristic that would best attract flies

Answer 1

To attract flies, a plant characteristic that would be most effective is producing a strong, decaying odor. Many plants that attract flies, especially those that rely on flies for pollination or seed dispersal, emit scents that mimic the smell of rotting flesh or decaying organic matter. This fragrance signals to flies that there is a food source or breeding ground available, encouraging them to visit the plant. Additionally, having a dull coloration, resembling decomposing matter, can further enhance its appeal to scavenging flies.
