Explain how this diagram represents the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
Identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in this food web?
commonly describes the close and often long-term
relationships/interactions between different biological species
These red-billed oxpeckers enjoy a symbiotic relationship with an impala in the African savanna. The oxpeckers feed off ticks that the impala are glad
to be rid of.
any relationship between individuals of different species where both
individuals derive a benefit
,
Coral reefs are the result of mutualisms
between coral organisms and
various types of algae that live
inside them
An example would be a honey bee and a
dandelion. The honey bee gets to eat the
pollen from the flower. The dandelion
uses the bee to spread its pollen to
another flower.
goby fish lives together with shrimp
The shrimp digs and cleans up a burrow in the sand in which both the
shrimp and the goby fish live. The shrimp is almost blind leaving it
vulnerable to predators when above ground. In case of danger the goby fish touches the shrimp with its tail to warn it. When that happens both the shrimp and goby fish quickly retract into the
burrow
mutualism is between the tube worms and bacteria that live at
hydrothermal vents and cold seeps The worm has no
digestive tract and is solely reliant on their internal symbionts for nutrition. The bacteria
oxidize either hydrogen sulfide or methane
which the host supplies to them. These worms were discovered in the
late 1980s at the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos
Islands and have since been found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in all of the
world's oceans
Examples: a. Microorganisms that live in
a cow’s intestines and help the cow digest cellulose
b. Insects that feed on flowers and unknowingly pollinate the flowers
c. Protozoa living in termite gut
a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the
other is not significantly harmed or helped.
,
Remora fish and sharks
African Buffalo and Egrets
An example is the hermit crabs that
use gastropod shells to protect
their bodies. A common example is an animal using a plant for shelter. An American Robin benefits by building
its nest in a Red Maple tree. The
tree is unaffected.
A relationship is one in which one member of the association
benefits while the other is harmed
almost all free-living animals are host to
one or more parasite ,
An example would be a deer tick and a White-tailed Deer. The tick gets food from the deer without killing it. The deer is harmed by losing blood to the tick, and possibly by getting an infected wound.
