Question
which symbiotic relationship is shown here?mutualismcommensalismpredationparasitism
The image shows a tick (a type of parasite) feeding on a dog. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship where one organism (the parasite) benefits by living on or in another organism (the host), while the host is harmed. The tick gains nutrients from the dog's blood, and the dog may suffer from blood loss, irritation, or disease transmission. Mutualism benefits both organisms, commensalism benefits one without harming the other, and predation involves one organism killing and eating another, which does not apply here.
