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.

lakkis [162]
This question is asking for the number of ATP that is produced by the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. 
Citrate is the first biological substance in the citric acid cycle and it is the starting point of the cycle. From one molecule of citrate, the citric acid cycle will produce 2 ATP while the electron transport chain will produce 34 ATP. Therefore, together both the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain will produce 36 ATP.
