Question

Butterflies obtain nectar, a food source, from flowers. When they fly from one flower to another, they disperse pollen. Which type of interaction do the butterflies and flowers have?

Answer 1

Since both organisms are benefiting from the relationship, it is called mutualism.

Answer 2

This is an example of mutualism. In mutualism, two organisms have a relationship which benefits both organisms. In this example, the butterflies benefit from food, and the flowers benefit by having their pollen spread.
