question 8 match the relationship with the appropriate scenario. mutualism competition predation parasitism commensalism choose choose choose choose choose ticks attaching to a deer to feed on its blood, the deer is suffering from blood - loss bees eating nectar from a flower and spreading pollen to other flowers lions hunt gazelles for food barnacle clinging to a whale for a free ride, meanwhile the whale does not benefit and remains unaffected two bears fighting over the same territory

Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. Bees eating nectar and spreading pollen is mutualism as bees get food and flowers get pollinated. Commensalism is a relationship where one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Barnacles clinging to a whale for a free - ride while the whale is unaffected is commensalism. Parasitism is a relationship where one organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (host). Ticks attaching to a deer to feed on its blood while the deer suffers is parasitism. Predation is when one organism (predator) hunts and eats another (prey). Lions hunting gazelles is predation. Competition is when two or more organisms compete for the same resource. Two bears fighting over the same territory is competition.

Answer:

Bees eating nectar from a flower and spreading pollen to other flowers: Mutualism
Barnacle clinging to a whale for a free - ride, meanwhile the whale does not benefit and remains unaffected: Commensalism
Ticks attaching to a deer to feed on its blood, the deer is suffering from blood - loss: Parasitism
Lions hunt gazelles for food: Predation
Two bears fighting over the same territory: Competition
