Answer 1

Entomophily is the process of pollination mediated by insects, which is a biotic form of pollination. Common insects involved in entomophily include bumblebees. Examples of entomophilous plants include rose, jasmine, Salvia, and lotus, which typically have colorful petals and nectar to attract insects. Insects transfer pollen between flowers while feeding on nectar or pollen.
