Umm I think B idk if I'm right.
Yes, you are correct. The relationship between the crow and the rat is predator-prey. The crow preys on the rat by chasing it away from the food source.
Mutualistic is a type of relationship between two species in which both species benefit from the interaction. It is a form of symbiosis where both organisms involved benefit from each other's presence. In a mutualistic relationship, both species rely on each other for survival or other benefits.
Symbiotic is a term used to describe a close and long-term interaction between two different species. In a symbiotic relationship, both species benefit from the interaction in some way. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships:
1. Mutualism: Both species benefit from the interaction.
2. Commensalism: One species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
3. Parasitism: One species benefits at the expense of the other.
In the case of the leaf-cutter ants and the fungus they cultivate, it is an example of mutualism, where both species benefit from their interaction.
Yes, you are correct! The relationship between dogs and fleas is an example of a parasite/host relationship. Fleas are parasites that feed off the blood of dogs, their host. So, the correct answer is:
dogs and fleas
Alright thanks also what does mutualistic mean I'm so confused
Thanks

Leaf-cutter ants cultivate fungus. The ants keep conditions optimal for fungus growth and carry leaf fragments for the fungus to grow on. Then the ants feed on pieces of the fungus. Which kind of relationship exists between the fungus and the ants?(1 point)

symbiotic
parasite/host
predator/prey
I think C I'm not sure
Actually, the relationship between the leaf-cutter ants and the fungus they cultivate is mutualistic. The ants provide care to the fungus and in return, they are able to feed on the fungus. So, the correct answer is:
symbiotic
