how could parasitism impact a host population over time? *
your answer

Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit. For example, bees get nectar from flowers for food, and in return, they help flowers with pollination. Parasitism can negatively impact a host population over time as parasites can cause diseases, weaken individuals, and reduce reproduction rates, potentially leading to a decline in the host population size.

Answer:

1. A. Mutualism
2. Bees and flowers: Bees get nectar for food and help flowers with pollination.
3. Parasitism can cause diseases, weaken hosts, reduce reproduction, and lead to a decline in the host - population size over time.
