Question
which of these is an example of mutualism? cows benefit from eating grass, and the grass is damaged. vultures benefit from eating dead animals, and the dead animals are removed. bears benefit from eating fish, and the fish are harmed. bees benefit from drinking nectar from flowers, and the flowers are pollinated.
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit. Bees get nectar from flowers and in return, they pollinate the flowers, which is beneficial for the flower's reproduction. So this is an example of mutualism. The other options describe relationships that are not mutualistic (predation - bears eating fish and harming fish; decomposition - vultures eating dead animals is a form of scavenging; grazing - cows eating grass can harm the grass).
