Question 1
Match the description of the different kinds of symbiosis with its type.
Choices are commenalism , mutualism, parasitism
In this type of symbiosis, one organism is helped while the other is harmed.
In this type of symbiosis, both organisms benefit.
In this type of symbiosis, one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Question 2
Fleas and ticks get their food by sucking the blood of a dog or cat that they are attached to. This can transmit diseases and harm the dog or cat. This is an example of
which type which type of symbiotic relationship?
Question 3
The yucca moth takes pollen from one yucca plant to another plant, which helps pollination and fertilization. While the moth is there, it lays it eggs in the plant. When the eggs turn to larvae, they eat some of the plants seeds, which doesn't harm the plant. This is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship?
Question 4
Athlete's foot is a type of fungus that grows on human's feet. It is irritating and can be painful. This is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship? .
Question 5
In the ocean, barnacles attach themselves to the belly of many whales. The barnacles are getting a place to live but the whale is usually not affected at all. This is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship?
Question 6
You're on vacation at the shore and get bit by a mosquito at night while walking the boardwalk. The mosquito feeds off of you when it bites you and you are left with a painful, itchy, swollen red mark on your skin. This is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship?
Question 7
Alligators will usually not eat certain species of birds. They will actually open their mouths and let the birds perch on their jaws. When this happens, the bird picks at the food particles in the alligator's teeth getting food. The alligator allows the birds to do this because it gets its teeth cleaned. This is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship?
Question 8
""Good for you, bad for me," is a saying that would describe which type of symbiotic relationship?
parasitism
mutualism
commensalism
Question 9
"Good for me, doesn't bother you,"is a saying that would describe which type of symbiotic relationship?
parasitism
mutualism
commensalism
Question 10
"Good for me, good for you,"is a saying that would describe which type of symbiotic relationship?
parasitism
mutualism
commenalism
The symbiotic relationships are classified as parasitism (one organism benefits while the other is harmed), mutualism (both organisms benefit), and commensalism (one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed). The examples given illustrate these types of symbiotic relationships in various life forms.
Answer for questions 1-3: The type of symbiosis where one organism is helped while the other is harmed is parasitism. When both organisms benefit it is termed mutualism. When one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed it is commensalism.
Answer for question 4: Fleas and ticks sucking blood and potentially harming dogs or cats is an example of parasitism.
Answer for question 5: The yucca moth and yucca plant relationship exemplifies mutualism, as the larvae get food and the yucca plant gets pollinated.
Answer for question 6: Athlete's foot fungus thriving on a human causes harm to the host and signifies parasitism.
Answer for question 7: Barnacles living on whales without causing them harm is a case of commensalism.
Answer for question 8: Mosquitoes feeding off humans by biting is another example of parasitism.
Answer for question 9: Birds cleaning alligators' teeth without harm and gaining food is a type of mutualism.
Answer for question 10: When one organism benefits at the expense of another, as in 'Good for you, bad for me,' it reflects parasitism. 'Good for me, doesn't bother you,' aligns with commensalism since one species benefits and the other remains unaffected. 'Good for me, good for you,' typifies mutualism, where both species benefit.

b. egg and sperm cells
c. gametes that are identical
d. four identical nuclei
Fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, though they are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy and unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei. Fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.
