Answer to Question 1

Beneficial insects are not immune to pesticides. If no pollinating insects are
available, plants that depend on them for pollination would not be able to reproduce.



Answer to Question 2

Insect-pollinated plants are more efficient because the pollen they produce is
transferred directly to the female reproductive organs of neighboring plants.
However, wind-pollinated plants must produce great amounts of pollen so that,
statistically speaking, it is ensured that pollen grains are deposited on the female
reproductive structures. Most of the pollen produced by these plants will never
reach this final destination

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
