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.

In a fixed volume when temperature increases , pressure does what?

Leni [432]

Answer:

When the volume is constant the pressure increases with temperature. 

Explanation:

Gay Lussac’s law precisely explains the relation between pressure and temperature of a system which has constant volume. In a system which has constant volume an increase in temperature indicates increase in temperature as well.

The reason behind the observation of this trend is the change in randomness of particles of the system. 

With increase in temperature the particle movement becomes random and fast. The particles hit the container walls at an increased rate and the pressure of the system increase.

Why do researchers need a lot of data to monitor a species population?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Researchers need a lot of data to monitor a species population because the environment is very diverse in types of species found at different places .

What happens to one part of it could affect the population of other animals, humans, and may also effect the ecosystem of that certain environmental region .

What trait most likely helped young angiosperms in this way? plez help

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Vascular Tissues

Explanation:

Angiosperms higher flowering plants it is most diverse group in a plant kingdom nearly 300,000 species of flowering plants are found under this kingdom.The angiosperms have specialised cells and tissues that carry out their metabolic functions and evolved vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) that translocate the water and nutrient to all parts of the plant. They are terrestrial, root system absorbs water and mineral from the soil. the shoot system supports and leaves involved in the process of photosynthesis

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

b. the bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.

The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.

Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.
