Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Which answer choice correctly describes mutualism?
When two species compete for the same resources
One species gains resources by taking from another species
An interaction between two species when one benefits
An interaction between two species when each species benefits
Which symbiotic relationship is described in the scenario below? Species 1: Provides food and shelter for species 2. Species 2: Provides no resources for species 1 and takes no resources from species 1.
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Predation
Which answer choice correctly describes the interaction between the organisms in the example? Use the t-chart, then choose the best answer. Spiderscrabs are often found covered in algae. The algae, which lives on the shell of the spidercrab, helps the crab camouflage, or hide from predators.
Commensalism—because one is benefited, but the other is harmed
Mutualism—because both benefit
Parasitism—because one is benefited, but the other is harmed
Commensalism—because one is benefited, but the other is not impacted.
Which answer choice describes an interaction when one species is helped and the other is harmed?
Mutualism
Parasitism
Commensalism
Convection
Which answer choice correctly describes the interaction between the organisms in the example? Use the t-chart, then choose the best answer. The Alcon Blue butterfly has a fascinating relationship with Myrmica ants. The butterfly larvae release a scent leading the ants to believe the butterfly is another ant. The ants then bring the butterfly larvae to the ant’s nest, where the butterfly larvae are tended to by the ants. The ants gather food and bring it to the butterfly larvae.
Commensalism—because one is benefited, but the other is harmed
Mutualism—because both species provide a benefit for each other
Parasitism—because one is benefited, but the other is harmed
Mutualism—because one is benefited, but the other is not impacted.
Which answer choice is true regarding the graph and commensalism?
The organisms depend on each other for resources.
The organisms do not share an interaction.
The orange line represents the organism that is not impacted.
The dotted line represents the organism that is not impacted.
Study the population graph below. Which answer choice is true of population two? Population 1 --------- ; Population 2 ---------
Population 2 is the prey of population 1.
Population 1 and 2 likely share mutualism.
Population 1 and 2 likely share commensalism.
Population 2 is the host of population 1.
Read the fictional scenario below. Complete the t-charts, then choose the best answer. In a remote corner of the cloud forests, the survival of four distinct species hinges on their unique social and biological contracts. The Sun-Crested Eagle patrols the canopy, its sharp eyes focused only on the movement of small rodents below. Nearby, the Bark-Mimic Moth rests invisibly against the ancient trees, its only goal to remain undetected until nightfall. These creatures are normally solitary observers of the forest. Below them, a more intricate bond unfolds between the Amber-Bellied Badger and the Whistling Honeyguide Bird. The bird, possessing an uncanny ability to locate hidden hives but lacking the strength to break them open, scouts the thickets until it finds a badger. It emits a specific, rhythmic trill to catch the mammal’s attention. The badger, recognizing the signal, follows the bird to the hive. With its powerful claws, the badger tears through the heavy wood, exposing the honey. While the badger feasts on the rich combs, it leaves behind the wax and larvae for the bird to consume.
The eagle and moth share commensalism.
The eagle and badger share mutualism.
The Badger and Honeyguide Bird likely share mutualism.
The badger and Honeyguide Bird likely have a parasitic interaction.
Which two answer choices are true regarding energy flow through an ecosystem?
If the primary consumers decrease, over time the tertiary consumers will decrease.
The large fish populations will be lower than the caddisfly larvae population.
When a primary consumer eats producers, its body will retain 90% of the chemical potential energy.
When a secondary consumer consumes primary consumers, its body will retain 50% of the energy.
Which answer choice is true regarding the food web below?
The rabbit is an omnivore and would increase if the producers increase.
The rabbit is an herbivore and would increase if the producers decrease.
The dragonfly is an omnivore and would decrease if the frog decreased.
The dragonfly is a carnivore and would decrease if the ladybug decreased.
