Symbiosis defines three basic relationship types (with multiple subgroups) occurring between living entities: mutualism, where both species benefit; commensalism, where one organism benefits and the other exper
.Footnote1(See Plessner [1975]2019 on the difference between animals that have specialized organs for metabolism “turned to the inside” and plants as organisms whose organs of metabolism are “on the surface,” pp. 202–209). A detailed differentiation of plants and animals either conceptually ...
Mutualism is when two living things work together and both get good things out of it. Bees and flowers are the most common example. Without flowers, bees could not make honey. Without bees, flowers could not make new seeds. It's win-win for these two. There are lots of animals that ...
A symbiotic relationship is an interaction between two or more species in which one species lives in or on another species. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships: parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. The first and the third can be key factors in the structure of a biological...
What is the phylum of a wolf? What is a hypostome in members of the phylum Cnidaria? What is the mutualism relationship between bees and flowers? What are autapomorphies of the phylum Chordata? What species are in the Ginkgophyta phylum?
Clownfish and sea anemones have a symbiotic relationship. This means they help each other survive. The sea anemone provides protection to the clownfish, which hides in the anemone's tentacles, protecting it from predators. In turn, the clownfish provides the sea anemone with food and also ...
An intimate, although generally benign, relationship between a resident microorganism and its host. Probably the product of a long evolutionary interplay between the microorganism and the host. The relationship need not be symbiotic. Gene transfer ...
(such as floods, volcanoes, hurricanes etc.), or human processes (such as construction, deforestation, changing landuse for agriculture, artificial land drainage etc.), is the single greatest impact on habitat of animals. When an animal does not have a habitat, and cannot adapt to a ...
What type of symbiotic relationship is found between ant birds and army ants? (a) Mutualistic (b) Parasitic (c) Commensal. How do organisms evolve to maintain their interactions (ex: mutualism, parasitism, commensalism) with other animals? Give an example. Describe the 3 symbiotic relationships ...
Which plants have a genetic advantage in reproduction? (a) Gymnosperms (b) Angiosperm. Describe the relationship between bees drinking flower sap and helping the plant in pollination. What are two types of reproduction in plants? What is mutualism? Distinguish between an insect-pollinated flower ...
