In which of the following relationships is one organism always benefited while the other organism is always harmed
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Parasitism

Explanation:

Parasitism is the form of mutual relationship between two organisms which occurs in such a way that one organism always get benefit and the other always gets harm. The one getting harm may or may not be killed due to it.

There are many common parasitic relationships we see in eco system.For example, when a tick sucks blood out of a dog. it is causing harm to dog by decreasing the content of blood however getting benefit for itself since blood is its food and the nutrients present in blood are source of energy for tick.

Similarly, Malaria is caused in human by a parasite called plasmodium. It enters into the blood and causes a disease called Malaria which can even lead to the death of affected individual,the parasite itself stays healthy and gets benefit.

Hope it help!

Two species of birds feed on mistletoe berries. The birds are active at different times of the day and do not come into contact
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. exploitation

Explanation:

Exploitation competition occurs when the interaction of two species is indirect when they complete for the same resource like food, place, etc. The use of resources by one individual species reduces the amount of resources for the other species leading to competition.

So over time the more fit species will out complete the less fit species. So here two species of bird feed on the same food but at different times and so they reduce resources for each other which is an example of exploitation competition.
