Biology Part Two

Clown fish live among anemones, acting as a lure for the sea anemone's prey. The clown fish get protection and shelter from the anemone. This is an example of which type of symbiosis?

• Commensalism

• Mutualism

• Parasitism

Lichens are close associations of fungi and algae. The fungi hold the water supply and the algae perform photosynthesis to manufacture carbohydrates for both organisms.

• mutualism

• commensalism

• parasitism

What will most likely be the result as humans move into new areas, forests are clear cut and housing developments are built?

• Global temperatures will decrease because trees are removed.

• Many organisms will lose their homes because their habitats have been destroyed.

• Better sanitation in the area will reduce the amount of pollution.

• The rainfall in the area will increase because there will be increased runoff.
