Food that develops in the ovary wall is usually associated with?
"Food" that develops in the ovary wall is the nectar.Nectar is rich in simple sugars and hence a good source of food and energy to insects.


Flowers usually secrete the nectar when the pollen grains are developed and ready to be dispersed.The nectar attracts the insects which visit the flower.The pollen gets attached to the hair on the insects leg.When insect visits othe flower it deposits this pollen on the stigma of the other flower..
Reply:if it is in the context of food, then a. But the ovary wall does aid in seed dispersal too.
Reply:i'd say A since that usually refers to a fruit.
