The golden jackal is an organism in nature that follows a tiger to feed on leftovers from the tiger's kills. The tiger is unaffected by the golden jackal, while the golden jackal benefits by getting food from leftovers. This symbiotic relationship is called: Mutualism Parasitism Facultative mutualism Commensalism
Several kinds of symbiotic relationships involve a fungus and a photoautotroph. Give two different examples of this kind of relationship. For the two examples, you choose, explain whether each relationship is parasitism, commensalism, or mutualism. Are either of the species interactions in either of your two examples beneficial for or detrimental to humans? Explain.
When placed in the same habitat, Paramecium aurelia will replace Paramecium caudatum. This is an example of: competitive exclusion. commensalism. parasitism. mutualism.
Thinking about biological magnification of toxins, is it healthier to feedat a lower or higher trophic level? Explain
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
Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism Competition Predation _________ 1. Although termites can physically chew and ingest wood, they are incapable of chemically digesting the wood. Inside of the termite is an intestinal flagellate that secretes the enzymes necessary for the termite to digest the wood. The flagellates live only inside in the hindgut of termites. _________ 2. Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. This relationship neither harms nor benefits the whale. _________ 3. Tapeworms, for example, live inside the intestines of humans and farm animals. They obtain digested food and shelter from their hosts. Hence, the hosts are likely to suffer from low nutrition. _________ 4. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. The relationship neither harms nor benefits the stork. _________ 5. Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives.…

Recognize that the types of interactions that occur between macroscopic organisms can also occur on the microscopic scale. Give examples of predations, mutualism, neutralism, and antagonism in the microscopic world. Distinguish between mutualism and synergism. Distinguish between predation and parasitism. Describe the steps in biofilm formation. Describe how quorum sensing is involved in biofilm formation Describe how microbial populations interact within a living biofilmand describe the advantages to living in a biofilm and the genetic changes that occur in cells that adopt this lifestyle.
