Q

Explain why a flower petal dries up and falls off after it has been pollinated?

A

Because it has finished its work of attracting pollinators and can then spend its energy manufacturing seeds. Also, other flowers will get an equal chance to be pollinated which means plenty of seeds will be produced.
