Which of the following is an example of mutualism?

  1. A bee pollinating a flower

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A parasite living in a host

  4. A plant growing in the shade of a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In mutualism, both species benefit from the interaction. In this case, the bee gets nectar and pollen from the flower, and the flower gets pollinated.

Which of the following is an example of commensalism?

  1. A remora fish attaching itself to a shark

  2. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

  3. A clownfish living in a sea anemone

  4. A cuckoo bird laying its eggs in another bird's nest

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In commensalism, one species benefits from the interaction while the other is unaffected. In this case, the remora fish gets a free ride and protection from predators, while the shark is unaffected.

Which of the following is an example of parasitism?

  1. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  2. A bee pollinating a flower

  3. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

  4. A clownfish living in a sea anemone

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In parasitism, one species benefits from the interaction while the other is harmed. In this case, the tapeworm gets nutrients from the human intestine, while the human is harmed by the tapeworm's presence.

Which of the following is an example of predation?

  1. A lion eating a zebra

  2. A bee pollinating a flower

  3. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

  4. A clownfish living in a sea anemone

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In predation, one species (the predator) kills and eats another species (the prey). In this case, the lion kills and eats the zebra.

Which of the following is an example of herbivory?

  1. A deer eating grass

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In herbivory, an animal eats plants. In this case, the deer eats grass.

Which of the following is an example of pollination?

  1. A bee transferring pollen from one flower to another

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. This is necessary for fertilization to occur.

Which of the following is an example of seed dispersal?

  1. A bird eating a fruit and then defecating the seeds

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Seed dispersal is the process by which seeds are moved from one place to another. This is important for plants to reproduce and colonize new areas.

Which of the following is an example of a keystone species?

  1. A beaver building a dam

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large impact on its ecosystem relative to its abundance. In this case, the beaver's dam creates a wetland habitat that supports a variety of other species.

Which of the following is an example of a trophic cascade?

  1. A decrease in the population of wolves leading to an increase in the population of deer

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A trophic cascade is a series of interactions between species at different trophic levels. In this case, the decrease in the population of wolves (top predators) leads to an increase in the population of deer (herbivores), which in turn leads to a decrease in the population of plants (producers).

Which of the following is an example of a mutualistic symbiosis?

  1. A bee pollinating a flower

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a mutualistic symbiosis, both species benefit from the interaction. In this case, the bee gets nectar and pollen from the flower, and the flower gets pollinated.

Which of the following is an example of a commensalistic symbiosis?

  1. A remora fish attaching itself to a shark

  2. A bee pollinating a flower

  3. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a commensalistic symbiosis, one species benefits from the interaction while the other is unaffected. In this case, the remora fish gets a free ride and protection from predators, while the shark is unaffected.

Which of the following is an example of a parasitic symbiosis?

  1. A tapeworm living in a human intestine

  2. A bee pollinating a flower

  3. A remora fish attaching itself to a shark

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a parasitic symbiosis, one species benefits from the interaction while the other is harmed. In this case, the tapeworm gets nutrients from the human intestine, while the human is harmed by the tapeworm's presence.

Which of the following is an example of a predatory interaction?

  1. A lion eating a zebra

  2. A bee pollinating a flower

  3. A remora fish attaching itself to a shark

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a predatory interaction, one species (the predator) kills and eats another species (the prey). In this case, the lion kills and eats the zebra.

Which of the following is an example of a herbivorous interaction?

  1. A deer eating grass

  2. A lion eating a zebra

  3. A remora fish attaching itself to a shark

  4. A mistletoe plant growing on a tree

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a herbivorous interaction, an animal eats plants. In this case, the deer eats grass.
