Which Symbiosis it it?
Drag each situation into the type of symbiotic relationship that best describes the situation. Mutualism - a symbiotic relationship that benefits both organisms involved.Commensalism - a symbiotic relationship that benefits one organism and the other is not helped or harmed.Parasitism - a symbiotic relationship that benefits one organism and the other is harmed. Mutualism The ants protecting the acacia tree and tree provides food for ants A high schooler and their pet Algae growing on the fur of a sloth, giving it camouflage The clownfish and the sea anemone Commensalism A bird building their nest in a tree A hermit crab carrying a sea anemone on its back Barnacles living on a whale Orchids growing in tall tropical trees. The trees are not harmed but the orchids get sunlight Small mites live on your skin, eating dead skin cells. you don't even notice Parasitism A tick living on a dog A tapeworm living in a student's intestines Head lice living on a human scalp Mistletoe putting its roots into a HOST tree For the following multiple choice questions, select the type of symbiosis represented in the situation.Oxpeckers are a type of small bird that land on zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on the zebra's skin. The oxpeckers get food and the zebras get pests removed. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Tapeworms are segmented flatworms that attach themselves to the insides of the intestines of animals such as cows, pigs, and humans. Tapeworms get their food by eating the host's (animal) partly digested food, depriving the host (animal) of nutrients. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Spider crabs live in shallow areas of the ocean floor, and greenish-brown algae lives on the crabs' backs, making the crabs blend in with their environment and unnoticeable to predators. The algae get a good place to live and the crab gets camouflage. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Remora fish are small fish that make their niche by picking up the scraps that sharks leave behind while feeding. The shark makes no attempt to prey on the remora fish. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Bees fly from flower to flower gathering nectar, which they make into food. When they land in a flower, the bees get some pollen on their hairy bodies, and when they land in the next flower, some of the pollen from the first rubs off, pollinating the plant. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Bacteria live in the colon of humans and are able to feed off the indigestible food that the human body cannot break down (cellulose of plants). In the process of breaking down the food, the bacteria also make much-need vitamins that the human body in turn can use to keep healthy. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Ticks live on dogs and feed off the dog's blood. They may also infect the dog with a parasite that can cause the dog to become quite sick. Dogs also are sometimes found to be very tired because a large volume of their blood has been drained. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Ostriches and gazelles feed next to each other and watch for predators, alerting each other to danger. Since the visual abilities of the two species are different, they each can identify threats the other animal would not as readily see. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Hermit crabs live in shells made and abandoned by snails. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism A cuckoo may lay its eggs in a warbler's nest. The cuckoo's young will displace the warbler's young and will be raised by the warbler. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Mistletoe takes water and nutrients from the spruce, harming the tree. Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives. The badgers then expose the hives and feed on the honey first. Then the honey guide birds eat.
