Answer:

1. Parasitism

2. Mutualism

3. Competition

4. Commensalism

Explanation:

The given are all different ecological relationships. These relationships how the members of the ecosystem interact with each other.

Parasitism is a relationship where one organism is harmed and the other one benefits. However, parasitism is specifically referring to a relationship where one lives inside the other organism, causing it harm by directly feeding off them or depriving it from getting nutrients.

Mutualism is a relationship were both organisms benefit from the relationship. In the example, the aphids provide protection for the ants while the ants provide food to the aphids (honey dew). Another example of a mutualistic relationship would be the tickbird and the rhino. The rhino benefits because the tickbird eats the ticks of the rhino, and in return, the tickbird is fed.

Competition is a relationship between organisms that compete for resources. In the case of your question the two grasses are competing against each other for the nutrients and water. Animals also share this type of relationship, especially when those that prey on the same animals for food.

Commensalism is a relationship between organisms where one benefits and the other does not benefit, but is NOT harmed. A good example would be the remora and sharks. Remoras are fish that swim with sharks. They swim beneath the sharks fins. The sharks provides them protection from other predators and remoras benefit because they get to eat scraps of the sharks food as well.

Microscopic plants called algae grow inside the top layer of sea ice in the Antarctic if enough sunlight reaches that layer of i
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: (A).

Explanation:

  • In the question, it is mentioned that the algae can grow under the conditions of "enough sunlight" and "enough nutrients".
  • Sunlight reaches the algae, by first falling on the surface made up of ice and snow and then refracting from there into the top layer of the ice where the algae grows.
  • However, the capability of both snow and ice to reflect sunlight is far more than that of refracting sunlight.
  • Therefore, the amount of light received by the algae is similar in absence or presence of the layer of snow on the top layer of ice.
  • However, on deposition of snow on the layer of the ice, the weight of the ice increases and it sinks below into sea water.
  • This allows more nutrient rich sea water to percolate into the ice and reach the algae.
  • The algae receive more nutrients from the sea water and hence is capable undergoing better metabolism and growth.
  • Hence, more algae are produced under such a situation.
