Question

How do chiropterophilous flowers attract bats?

Options

• By emitting ultrasound signals

• By producing sweet taste compounds

Answer 1

Chiropterophilous flowers possess a strong fragrance that helps attract bats. Since bats are nocturnal and have poor color vision, they rely heavily on olfactory cues (smell) to locate and identify flowers suitable for feeding on nectar, pollen, or associated insects.
