Answer:

a. commensalism is the correct answer.

Explanation:

By growing on the trunk or branch of a tree, a lichen gains height and exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. The tree is not harmed by the lichen but does not benefit either. The relationship between the lichen and the tree is commensalism.

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism gets benefits from other organisms without causing any harm or any damage from the relation as it one side symbiotic relation.

In this, we can see lichen is getting benefits from the tree.

for example, lichen is getting following benefits from the tree such as ( a lichen gains height and exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis.) and they are causing any harm to tree neither any benefits so this is a one-side symbiotic relation and thus the relationship is an example of commensalism.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: The answer is C!!! :D maintaining homeostasis by regulating the body's temp!

Explanation:

Shivering as a natural, involuntary response to generate heat is an example of  maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature.

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant body environment. The normal range of operation of the body system is known as the setpoint.

When the setpoint temperature for some animals is breached, a negative feedback mechanism is used to return it to the setpoint. Shivering to generate heat is a response to a cold environment when the body's temperature is about to drop below the setpoint.

The oppositeis sweating. Sweating causes cooling and comes in response to when the setpoint temperature is exceeded.

Hopes this helps happy early Christmas!!!! :D
