the ones with this *** are the ones i think are right could some one help me?
I can certainly help you with that! Let's go through each question and determine the correct answer together.
1. A long-term relationship in which both species benefit is known as parasitism.
The correct answer is B. False. Parasitism is a relationship in which one species benefits (parasite) and the other is harmed (host). A relationship in which both species benefit is called mutualism.
2. The relationship of algae living in the fur of a 3-toed sloth and helping to camouflage the sloth is called *
The correct answer is C. commensalism. Commensalism is a relationship in which one organism benefits (algae) while the other organism (sloth) is not directly affected.
3. A deer tick feeding on a human is an example of *
The correct answer is B. parasitism. In parasitism, one organism (tick) benefits while the other organism (human) is harmed.
4. Which of the following is an example of consumers outnumbering the producers they are feeding upon? *
The correct answer is D. predation. Predation refers to the relationship between a predator and its prey. In this scenario, the consumers (predators) outnumber the producers (prey).
5. A fish cleaning the mouth of a larger fish and being protected by the larger fish is an example of *
The correct answer is B. mutualism. Mutualism is a relationship in which both organisms benefit. In this case, the smaller fish cleans the mouth of the larger fish, receiving food particles, while the larger fish is rid of parasites and debris.
I hope this helps clarify the correct answers for you!
