Flagellate protozoans live in the guts of termites. The flagellates break down the cellulose that the termites eat, and both organisms benefit from the resulting nutrients. This relationship between protozoan and termite is an example of- mutualism parasitism equilibrium commensalism

Bacteria that live in termite guts and break down cellulose from wood v [Choose] mutualism commensalism parasitism Bacteria found on your skin which neither harms or benefits you Borrelia burgdorferi which causes Lyme disease in humans [Choose ] Bacteria that Ilive in association with algae that make up lichens [ Choose ]
Several kinds of symbiotic relationships involve a fungus and a photoautotroph. Give two different examples of this kind of relationship. For the two examples, you choose, explain whether each relationship is parasitism, commensalism, or mutualism. Are either of the species interactions in either of your two examples beneficial for or detrimental to humans? Explain.

Symbiosis is a close relationship between different species where at least one requires the other for survival. Parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism are the major types of symbiosis. Why is the relationship between Rhizobium and its host considered mutualism and not one of the other types of symbiosis?
Below are statements about symbiosis. Choose the correct responses. ( Only pick one answer per [ ] ) ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when two organisms both benefit from a relationship. One example of this you will view is lab is ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] . ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits, while the second organism is not harmed, and does not benefit. ["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits while the second organism is harmed. In lab you will explore ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] as an example of this relationship.
When placed in the same habitat, Paramecium aurelia will replace Paramecium caudatum. This is an example of: competitive exclusion. commensalism. parasitism. mutualism.
Respond to the following statements in reference to the five kinds of species interactions listed below. An example of this interaction is that between an epiphyte and its host. In this interaction between two species, both species are harmed to some degree. In this interaction, both species benefit. In this interaction, one individual or species is usually killed while the other benefits by eating it. In this interaction, one species is harmed but usually not killed, to the benefit of the other that lives on or in it. a. Competition b. Predation C. Mutualism d. Commensalism e. Parasitism
Many biologists consider a lichen an example of controlled parasitism. In this view, which component is the likely parasite, and which is the likely host?
Ambrosia bark beetles carryAmbrosiella fungal spores to trees, then bore holes and lay their eggs with the fungus. When the new larvae hatch, they eat the fungus that has germinated in the holes. Describe how this relationship can be classified as mutualistic.
What type of relationship does a fungus have with its plant host if it kills other herbivores that feed on that same plant? mutualistic commensal predatory parasitic
