Which ecological relationship would the Prickly-Pear Cactus and the Giant Tortoise be in? Why? | They would be in Mutualism.I think this because he Prickly-Pear Cactus give the Giant Tortoise nutrients and the Giant Tortoise is able to reproduce the Cactus by eliminating it. Therefore, they are both benefiters. |
If there are ground finches, mites/ticks, And the Giant Tortoise, who benefits who? Why? | They both benefit eachother. I think this because the mites/ticks like to be on the Tortoise and the finches take them off of the tortoise. The tortoise helps the finch by supplying that food to the finches. |
If I am a snake and I eat a mouse for food(energy)what ecologigal relationship would I be in? Why do you think this? | You would be in predation. I think so because the snake kills the mouse in order to have food to eat. |
In order to be in the ecological relationship predation, I need what? | You need to have an animal that eats another animal. The animal that gets ate should not get benefits in any type of way. |
Give an example of an animal that would be in a commensalism. Why was this chosen? | Hermit crabs. These crabs have to find shells for shelter and use various snail shells. These shells are available because the snail has died. So, the snail is not affected. |
If I am a giant tortoise and there are ground finches, would I be in a predation or a mutualism? | You would be in a mutualism.I think this because in this situation they both get benifited but not harmed. |
What is parasitism? Can you give an example of parasitism? | Parasitism is a relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed. An example of parasitism would be bed bugs.The bed bugs harm the humans by biting and sucking skin. |
