1: What is symbiosis? What is a good example of a symbiotic relationship?
Symbiosis is close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species. We speak of the composite of algae and fungi as lichens.
2: List all of the types of interactions between two types of organisms in an ecosystem (give an example of each).
Neutralism 0 0 Wolves and Lichen
Amensalism 0 - Penicilium and bacteria
Commensalism + 0 Tiger and Golden Jackal
Competition - - Lion and Cheetah
Mutualism + + Pollination between Insects and Flower
Predation or
Parasitism + - Praying mantis and bumblebee
3: Ecosystem Feedback Mechanisms
Explain how the Wolves/Elk populations in Yellowstone are a great example of a symbiotic relationship and a negative feedback loop 1 benefits the other one is not.
4: What is the definition of a population?
A population is a summation of all the organisms of the same group or species, who live in the same area, and have the capability of interbreeding.
5: Discuss what is happening with the Kudzu Plant in the United States and explain how this is an example of a symbiotic relationship (which?).
Kudzu was release in US. It a symbiotic relationship because the Kudzu and the stink bug are interacting with each other.
