Answer:
A hummingbird feeding: Mutualism
Explain Interaction: The hummingbird drinks the nectar from the flower and the hummingbird may help pollinate the flower.
I'm a bit confused by the plants on the floor one.
Plants on a Forest Floor: Competition
Explain Interaction: The plants on the forests floor compete with each other for the same resources. Both may not receive enough of those resources. Note: When I was around Middle School and High-school I was only taught mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism, so let me know if competition is not a choice your teacher gives you to choose from or wasn't taught to you
Flea bites human: Parasitism
Explain Interaction: The flea drinks the persons blood as food and the person is hurt. Flea bites can be itchy and become painful. Fleas may also also carry disease.
Clownfish in Anemone: Mutualism (although I hear some people say commensalism)
Explain Interaction: The anemone provides protection and a place to live for the clownfish. The anemone may eat bits of food left over from the clownfish.

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:
Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?
A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.
B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.
C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.
D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.
The answer is A
Explanation:
In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.
Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).
On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.
Answer:
A science teacher asked students to describe and explain an internal adaptation that allows for a specific function. Students wrote the following:
Student 1: Leaf frogs can change their appearance to match their surroundings.
Student 2: Birds have hollow bones, enabling them to fly.
Student 3: Penguins live together in groups.
Student 4: Musk ox have thick, shaggy hair to protect them from cold temperatures.
Which student’s answer describes and explains an internal adaptation that allows for a specific function?
Explanation:
<span>Sumerians built walls using the natural resource they were surrounded with, which was namely clay. They used this clay to create fired mud-bricks, as there was not any other building stone available at the time. However, the clay mud-bricks proved to be a solid structure for town fortification.</span>
Answer:
Prokaryotes are important to all life on Earth for a number of reasons.
Explanation:
They play a critical role in the recycling of nutrients by decomposing dead organisms and allowing their nutrients to be re-used.
They are also important for many metabolic processes. Bacteria in our guts and mouth help with the digestion of food by breaking down difficult to digest carbohydrates and other compounds. Recent research has suggested that the microbial community in our guts can be a significant factor contributing to obesity.
