Two species have a relationship with one another in an ecosystem. Suppose one of these two species goes extinct. Which type of relationship did the two have if the surviving species population increases after the other goes extinct?

·
The extinct species was a parasite in a parasitic relationship with the surviving species.
·
The extinct species relied on the surviving species in a commensal relationship.
·
The two species had a mutualistic relationship.
· The surviving species preyed on the extinct species.

my answer is B

i don't know the rest but i know that is A for sure

which is an example of a parasitic relationship? does anyone know the answer

Parasitic Relationships
--------------------------------
A parasitic relationship is when a parasite receives benefit for feeding off of a host, while the host is either severely harmed or brought to death. Some examples of a parasitic relationship are hookworms, fleas, tapeworms, and so one.

For further information on 'parasitic relationships', conduct some further research on this topic either out of your given school resources such as textbooks, lessons, citations, or you can look for further information in public libraries or others with your teacher's permission.

I hope this helps you all out. Have a good day/night! :)

To determine the type of relationship between the two species, we can examine the change in population of the surviving species after the other species goes extinct.

In a parasitic relationship, one species benefits at the expense of the other, usually by causing harm or obtaining resources from the other species. If the population of the surviving species increases after the extinction of the other species, it is unlikely to be a parasitic relationship because the extinction of the parasite would not typically lead to population growth in the host.

In a commensal relationship, one species benefits while the other is unaffected. If the surviving species population increases after the extinction of the other species, it is possible that they had a commensal relationship where the extinct species relied on the surviving species for some form of support or resources.

In a mutualistic relationship, both species benefit from the interaction. If the surviving species population increases after the extinction of the other species, it is possible that they had a mutualistic relationship, where both species were dependent on each other for survival and growth.

If the surviving species preyed on the extinct species, their population would not necessarily increase after the extinction of the prey species. Instead, the extinction of the prey species would likely lead to a decline in the predator's population due to the loss of a food source.

Based on this analysis, it seems that the most likely answer is that the two species had a commensal relationship, as stated in option B.

If the extinct species was sucking the blood of the surviving species, the surviving species will be happier without the blood sucking parasite.
