Explain how this diagram represents the flow of energy through an ecosystem?

Identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in this food web?

commonly describes the close and often long-term

relationships/interactions between different biological species

These red-billed oxpeckers enjoy a symbiotic relationship with an impala in the African savanna. The oxpeckers feed off ticks that the impala are glad

to be rid of.

any relationship between individuals of different species where both

individuals derive a benefit

,

Coral reefs are the result of mutualisms

between coral organisms and

various types of algae that live

inside them

An example would be a honey bee and a

dandelion. The honey bee gets to eat the

pollen from the flower. The dandelion

uses the bee to spread its pollen to

another flower.

goby fish lives together with shrimp

The shrimp digs and cleans up a burrow in the sand in which both the

shrimp and the goby fish live. The shrimp is almost blind leaving it

vulnerable to predators when above ground. In case of danger the goby fish touches the shrimp with its tail to warn it. When that happens both the shrimp and goby fish quickly retract into the

burrow

mutualism is between the tube worms and bacteria that live at

hydrothermal vents and cold seeps The worm has no

digestive tract and is solely reliant on their internal symbionts for nutrition. The bacteria

oxidize either hydrogen sulfide or methane

which the host supplies to them. These worms were discovered in the

late 1980s at the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos

Islands and have since been found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in all of the

world's oceans

Examples: a. Microorganisms that live in

a cow’s intestines and help the cow digest cellulose

b. Insects that feed on flowers and unknowingly pollinate the flowers

c. Protozoa living in termite gut

a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the

other is not significantly harmed or helped.

Remora fish and sharks

African Buffalo and Egrets

An example is the hermit crabs that

use gastropod shells to protect

their bodies. A common example is an animal using a plant for shelter. An American Robin benefits by building

its nest in a Red Maple tree. The

tree is unaffected.

A relationship is one in which one member of the association

benefits while the other is harmed

almost all free-living animals are host to

one or more parasite ,

An example would be a deer tick and a White-tailed Deer. The tick gets food from the deer without killing it. The deer is harmed by losing blood to the tick, and possibly by getting an infected wound.
