Name two examples of an illustrates mutualism?

Answer 1

1. Birds and plants: plants provide birds with food and birds disperse the plant seeds

2. Birds and large mammals (elephants/rhinos): large mammals attract parasites that birds can use as food - birds benefit by having a ready source of food on the mammals and the mammals benefit by having the parasites removed by the birds

Answer 2

Two examples of mutualism are as follows:

1)Algae and Fungi:

Algae and fungi are called mutualists .Some fungi are associated with algae. Fungus provides protection to alga and alga in turn prepares food for fungus.

2)Algae and Sponges:

Algae release oxygen during photosynthesis which is used by sponges and sponges release CO2(carbon dioxide). In this way they benefit each other and are called mutualists . Such an association is called mutualism .
