Commensalism occurring between the kudzo and native plants O b. A predator prey relationship between ground plants and kudzu O c. Competition occurring between the native and invasive species O d. Parasitism between kudzu and the native plants

Poison or toxic compounds can be an adaptation for survival in both predators and prey. True False Parasitism is an example of a symbiotic relationship. True False Predation and herbivory are similar interactions (-/+) in that one organism in the interaction benefits and the other is harmed.

Mistletoe is a plant that attaches to trees or shrubs. Special mistletoe structures called haustorium penetrate the branches of the and shrubs. The mistletoe is then able to absorb water and nutrients from the plant, leading to illness and sometimes death of the host plant.* 1 and 2 O Commensalism ghschool O Symbiosis O Mutualism O Parasitism O Competition Sea otters, Enhydra lutris, are predators of sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus. Sea urchins, in turn, feed on kelp. A study was conducted to tietermine the effect that Enhydra lutris has on kelp biodiversity. To do so, three bays that have had sea otter populations for varying amounts of time were assessed Te diffe
