Question

1. 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 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. organism 1: helped harmed not harmed/not helped organism 2: helped harmed not harmed/not helped symbiotic relationship:

Explanation:

In the bee - flower relationship, bees get nectar and help flowers pollinate, so it's mutualism. In the bacteria - human colon relationship, bacteria get food and humans get vitamins, which is also mutualism. In the dog - tick relationship, ticks benefit by feeding on dog's blood and harm the dog, which is parasitism.

Answer:

1. Organism 1: helped; Organism 2: helped; Symbiotic Relationship: mutualism
2. Organism 1: helped; Organism 2: helped; Symbiotic Relationship: mutualism
3. Organism 1: harmed; Organism 2: helped; Symbiotic Relationship: parasitism
