Understanding types of symbiosis Interspecific interactions can be categorized by whether each species in the interaction benefi

ts, is harmed, or is neither helped nor harmed. Competition is a –/– interaction, meaning that it has a negative effect on both species. Mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism are types of interspecific interactions in which at least one species benefits. Three examples of symbiosis are epiphytic orchids and trees, hookworms and humans, and bees and flowers.
Epiphytic orchids are plants that live on the branches or trunks of trees. The trees supply the orchids with space, and the orchids (which are autotrophs) do not appear to affect the tree. Human hookworms live in human intestines and eat blood. Bees pollinate flowers while gathering nectar. Categorize mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism as either +/–, +/0, or +/+. Also select the correct definition and example for each interaction. Drag the labels to their appropriate locations on the table. Use blue labels for the blue targets, pink labels for the pink targets, and white labels for the white targets.

Answer:

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow

Write a hypothesis about how the interaction of tectonic plates may cause earthquakes.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Techtonic plates interacting with each other would cause an earthquake because they are essentially the earth's foundation so by sliding together they would  cause rockfall and make a rumble which is basically what an earthquake is and when they interact its basically the earth moving so it would cause shaking and rumbling which is what happens in an earthquake

(Additionally) in the aftermath of an earthquake the plates are either moving or settling down which is why frequently after an earthquake there is a mini one following it

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
