What is relationship between the proteaceae plants and the native ants?
Mutualistic. That answer can be correct but it really depends on what you are talking about. For example some kinds of ants some of the time have a mutualistic relationship with scale insects that feed on plants in the family Proteaceae and may kill them. Some other kinds of ants do nothing for the plant, but do eat its nectar, which is a parasitic relationship. Such ants do not have a mutualistic relationship with the plant. Also, the relationship between the ants and the Proteaceae may be mutualistic in more ways than one. A common mutualistic relationship is one we call myrmecochory, in which the ants carry the seeds and thereby help the new plants to grow. What the ants get out of it is food. The plants grow nutritious tissues on the surface of the seeds, commonly at one end of the seed. We call such a lump of ant-feeding tissue an elaiosome.When the ants have eaten the elaiosome they either ignore the seed, or dispose of it on their garbage dumps. This usually is not where birds and other seed eating creatures will find the seeds, and it also might be a place that is very suitable for the seed to grow. For example the garbage might be good fertiliser, or it might poison fungi that might have rotted the seeds, or scare off other insects that might otherwise have eaten the seeds.
What is a rigid structure that provides support and protection to plants and some types of bacteria?
cell wall
Are Microorganisms that cause disease and infection in plants and animals mutualistic?
No, It's Pathogenic. :)
What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
What kind of plants host bacteria nodules that fix free nitrogen?
Rhizobia bacteria are primarily responsible for pulling nitrogen out of the air and making it available to plants, which then use the nitrogen to create proteins. The legume family (the pea & bean family) of plants are able to form a mutually beneficial relationship with rhizobia bacteria.
What is a mutualistic relationship with plants?
The ground!! da
What type of symbiotic relationship is seen when ladybugs fill the role of plant pollinators?
Plants and their pollinators form a mutualistic relationship, a relationship in which each benefits from the other.
How are leguminous plants able to survive in soil low in nitrate ions?
They have mutualistic relationships with fungi and bacteria that can split atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by the plants.
What is the difference between a parasitic and mutualistic relationship?
Both are a relationship between two organisms, called a symbiotic relationship. A parasitic relationship is when one organism gains at the other organism's expense. An example of a parasitic relationship is a tick. A mutualistic relationship is when both organisms gain from each other. An example of this would be honeybees and flowering plants.
Is the relationship between a plant and it and pollinator mutualistic?
yes, because they both benefit .the Bee get the nectar from the plant and other plants get pollinated
What kind of relationship do nitrogen fixing bacteria have with legume plants?
it is a symbiotic relationship
Is a relationship between a plant and it's pollinated mutualistic?
yes, because they both benefit .the Bee get the nectar from the plant and other plants get pollinated
Who has a mutualistic relationship?
Clown Fish and Anemoni is an example of a mutualistic relationship. I'm not sure why but I know that is the answer. Sorry this isn't much help.

When both species benefit from the relationship it is called?
That's called a 'symbiotic' relationship.
The relationship between legume plants and bacteria that helps the nitrogen cycle is called?
