Question

You are now about to make a Collage showing the different interactions that exist among organisms. Then, in 3-5 sentences explain the following

1. One of the interactions that exist in the environment.

2. Effects of your chosen interaction among organisms in their environment.

3. Cite an example to support your chosen interaction.

Answer 1

1. One of the interactions that exist in the environment is symbiosis. Symbiosis is a type of interaction between two or more organisms where one organism benefits and the other organism is neither helped nor harmed.

2. Symbiosis can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, mutualistic symbiosis, where both organisms benefit, can increase the survival and reproduction of both species. This can increase biodiversity and stability in the ecosystem.

3. An example of mutualistic symbiosis is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees collect nectar from flowers and in the process, they transfer pollen, which allows the flowers to reproduce. The bees benefit by getting food and the flowers benefit by getting pollinated. This relationship is essential for the survival of both bees and flowers and contributes to the biodiversity of the ecosystem.
