When looking at tiny pollen grains suspended in a drop of water under a microscope, they are observed to undergo random, erratic movements.
What causes this random motion of the pollen grains?
The pollen grains are hit by the rapidly moving water molecules.
Convection currents in the water carry the pollen grains randomly.
The pollen grains actively swim in search of nutrients.
The pollen grains repel each other due to static electric charges.
