Which type of pollen grains are found in insect pollinated flowers

Assertion : To compensate the uncertainties and associated loss of pollen grains during pollination by abiotic agents, the flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. Reason : Pollen grains coming in contact with the stigma is a chance factor in both wind and water pollination.

Assertion. Entomophilous plants produce less pollen when compared to anemophilous plants. Reason. The wastage of pollen is reduced to the minimum in entomophilous plnats because of the directional pollination.
