can some one give me an example of
commensalism and mutualism in the deciduous forest in the united states?
I think commensalism symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither benefited nor harmed.
Is that like maybe a squarrel living in a tree. where it does not harm the tree.
mutualism is symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. I have been able to think of one for this one. i thought that some one had to benefit not both please help if you can.

what are particulates? why are particulates from natural sources still considered pollution?
Here is the general infromation googlw the internet for move info
Mutualism were both partners benefit.
1)Lichens (are made of two parts and each needs to others to survive.
2)Ant and plants (ant move seeds eat outsdie proteins and discard. seed is still good and can germinate.
3)Mycorrhizae and plant roots
compare and contrast the cells found within many-celled organisms
What is frequency of sound also known as?
In the deciduous forest in the United States, commensalism and mutualism can be observed in various ways.
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship where one species benefits while the other is neither benefited nor harmed. An example of commensalism in the deciduous forest can be seen with a squirrel living in a tree. The squirrel benefits from the shelter and protection provided by the tree, while the tree is not directly affected or harmed by the squirrel's presence.
On the other hand, mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species involved benefit from the interaction. One example of mutualism in the deciduous forest is lichens. Lichens are composed of two parts, a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria, and they rely on each other for survival. The fungus provides a protective structure for the alga/cyanobacteria, and in return, the alga/cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis and provide nutrients to the fungus.
Another example of mutualism in the deciduous forest is the relationship between ants and certain plants. Some plants produce seeds with a nutritious outer layer, called an elaiosome, which attracts ants. The ants collect and carry these seeds to their nests, consume the elaiosome, and discard the seed. The seeds are still viable and can germinate in the nutrient-rich environment of the ant nest, aiding in their dispersal.
Now, moving on to the second part of your question about particulates. Particulates are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. They can originate from both natural and human-made sources. Natural sources of particulates include dust, pollen, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and sea spray, among others.
Particulates from natural sources are considered pollution when they reach high concentrations or disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. While natural particulates are a normal part of the environment, excessive amounts can have adverse effects on human health and the environment. High levels of particulate matter can contribute to respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, reduced visibility, and can even impact plant and animal life.
It's important to note that the term "pollution" refers to the harmful or undesirable presence of substances in the environment, regardless of whether they originate from natural or human activities. Therefore, even though particulates from natural sources are technically natural, they can still be considered pollution when their presence poses a risk to the ecosystem or human well-being.
