Question

Frogs live in pools of water collected by flowers in the top of rain forest canopies. the flowers get nutrients from the frog wastes. which type of relationship is this?

Answer 1

Mutualism (Symbiosis)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutualism is a biological interaction between two organisms (the symbionts) in which both benefits without being negatively affected in any form.

Biological interaction between two organisms is generally referred to as symbiosis. Symbiosis can be mutualism if both organisms benefit, commensalism if one benefits and the other is unaffected or parasitic if one benefits and the other is negatively affected.

IN this case, frogs derive their habitat in the pools of water collected by the flowers, a beneficial action. The flowers get nutrients from the wastes of the frogs, also a beneficial action. It is a win-win situation for both the frogs and the flowers.

The correct answer is mutualism, a form of symbiosis.

Answer 2

This type of relationship is Mutualism.

Mutualism is a type of relationship in which two organisms of different species both benefits from the activity of the other. From the question given, both the frogs and the flowers benefits from the relationship. The flowers provide shelter for the frogs, as the frogs live in pools of water collected by the flowers while the flowers also obtain nutrients from the frog wastes. Therefore, the relationship between the two organisms is mutual.
