What is an example of organisms competing for a mate?
Male peacocks compete for a mate by displaying their colorful and extravagant feathers to attract females. The male peacock with the most impressive and vibrant display is more likely to successfully attract a mate.
True or False? Organisms only compete with their own species.
False. Organisms can compete for mates, resources, and habitat with both individuals of their own species and individuals of different species. This competition can occur within an ecosystem between various organisms vying for the same resources or territory.
After reading, drag and drop the faces into the circles to describe how each organism is affected in the relationship. You may need to make additional copies of the faces.
Mutualism:
Commensalism:
Parasitism:
I'm sorry for any confusion, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to view or interact with images, including those of faces being dragged and dropped into circles. However, I can certainly help explain mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism:
1. Mutualism: Both organisms in a mutualistic relationship benefit from the interaction. For example, bees and flowers have a mutualistic relationship where the bee benefits from the nectar and pollen provided by the flower, while the flower benefits from the bee pollinating it.
2. Commensalism: In commensalism, one organism benefits from the relationship while the other is neither helped nor harmed. An example could be a bird nesting in a tree. The bird benefits from the shelter provided by the tree, but the tree is not affected either positively or negatively by the bird's presence.
3. Parasitism: In a parasitic relationship, one organism benefits at the expense of the other organism, which is harmed. For instance, ticks feeding on the blood of animals or humans represents a parasitic relationship where the tick benefits from the blood meal while the host animal is harmed.

I understand now. Since I cannot view or interact with images, I can provide you with a text-based explanation for each type of relationship:
Mutualism: Both organisms benefit from the relationship. In mutualism, both parties involved receive positive gains from their interaction.
Commensalism: One organism benefits from the relationship, while the other is not significantly affected. Commensalism is a type of relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Parasitism: One organism benefits at the expense of the other. In parasitism, one organism (parasite) benefits by living on or inside another organism (host), which is harmed by the interaction.
I hope this helps clarify the different types of relationships in nature.
