Question
- bee and the flower: 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 one rubs off, pollinating the plant. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ______ 6. bacteria and the human colon: 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 - needed vitamins that the human body in turn can use to keep healthy. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 7. dog and the tick: ticks live on dogs and feed off the dogs 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. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 8. ostriches and gazelles: they 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. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 9. hermit crabs and snails: hermit crabs live in shells made and abandoned by snails. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 10. cuckoo and warbler: a cuckoo may lay its eggs in a warblers nest. the cuckoos young will displace the warblers young and will be raised by the warbler. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 11. mistletoe and spruce tree: mistletoe takes water and nutrients from the spruce, harming the tree. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ____ 12. honey guide birds and badgers: 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. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship: ______
Brief Explanations
- Bee and the flower: Bees get nectar (helped), and flowers get pollinated (helped). This is mutualism.
- Bacteria and the human colon: Bacteria get food (helped), and humans get vitamins (helped). This is mutualism.
- Dog and the tick: Ticks get blood (helped), dogs are harmed by blood - loss and possible infection. This is parasitism.
- Ostriches and gazelles: Both alert each other to danger (helped). This is mutualism.
- Hermit crabs and snails: Hermit crabs use abandoned snail shells (helped), snails are not affected (not harmed/not helped). This is commensalism.
- Cuckoo and warbler: Cuckoo's young are raised (helped), warbler's young are displaced (harmed). This is parasitism.
- Mistletoe and spruce tree: Mistletoe gets water and nutrients (helped), spruce tree is harmed. This is parasitism.
- Honey guide birds and badgers: Birds alert badgers (helped), badgers expose hives for birds to eat (helped). This is mutualism.
