What is a mutulisam?
Mutualism is a form of symbiosis, where two species have evolved to have a mutually-beneficial close relationship, so close that basically one cannot live without the other. There are many examples of this type of symbiosis in the natural world, such as the Yucca plant and the Yucca Moth, the Acacia tree and a species of ant (I can't recall which one.) Etc. Mutualism differs from Commensalism, which is where two species live in a symbiotic relationship that benefits one while neither benefitting nor harming the other. The good example here is humpback whales and the barnacles that live on the whale's skin. The barnacles get a free ride around the ocean, happily filter-feeding the whole way, while the whales receive no benefit, but they are not harmed either. Then of course there is parasitsm, but I think we all know about this one.
How long does it take for baby cow to stand up?

Explain why there is more variation between a species than within a species?
Within a species, the animals breed together so that the similar characteristics are passed from parents to their offspring. This is why there is less variation within a species than between a species.
What stores material in the cell?
The vacuole stores material within the cell. It is a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
What term describes changes that within species?
variation
What is the climate in the intertidal zone?
Lower intertidal zone - dry only during the lowest tides and contains the highest biodiversity within the intertidal zone.Middle intertidal zone - regularly covered with sea water.Upper intertidal zone - covered by water during high tide so it experiences dry periods daily.Spray zone - the "desert" of the intertidal zone, this area survives on the mist and spray of the ocean.
What organism found intertidal zone?
The intertidal area (also called the littoral zone) is where the land and sea meet, between the high and low tide zones. Within the intertidal zone there are the spray zones, and low, middle, and high tide zones, and each is characterised by different animals. * Spray Zone: Also called the Upper Littoral, the Supralittoral Fringe, the Splash Zone, and the Barnacle Belt. This area is dry much of the time, but is sprayed with salt water during high tides. It is only flooded during storms and extremely high tides. Organisms in this sparse habitat include barnacles, isopods, lichens, lice, limpets, periwinkles, and whelks. Very little vegetation grows in this area. * High Tide Zone: Also called the Upper Mid-littoral Zone and the high intertidal zone. This area is flooded only during high tide. Organisms in this area include anemones, barnacles, brittle stars, chitons, crabs, green algae, isopods, limpets, mussels, sea stars, sea anemones, snails, whelks and some marine vegetation. * Middle Tide Zone: Also called the Lower Mid-littoral Zone. This turbulent area is covered and uncovered twice a day with salt water from the tides. Organisms in this area include anemones, barnacles, chitons, crabs, green algae, isopods, limpets, mussels, sea lettuce, sea palms, sea stars, snails, sponges, and whelks. * Low Tide Zone: Also called the Lower Littoral Zone. This area is usually under water - it is only exposed when the tide is unusually low. Organisms in this zone are not well adapted to long periods of dryness or to extreme temperatures. Some of the organisms in this area are abalone, anemones, brown seaweed, chitons, crabs, green algae, hydroids, isopods, limpets, mussels, nudibranchs, sculpin, sea cucumber, sea lettuce, sea palms, sea stars, sea urchins, shrimp, snails, sponges, surf grass, tube worms, and whelks.
What kind of vertebrate is a spider?
Spiders are arachnids which are within the animal phylum of Arthropods. Some other arthropods are insects and other "bugs," crabs, lobsters, and even barnacles.
What is the ecological niche of an oyster?
Oysters thrive in the tidal zones of sea or ocean water. There are intertidal and subtidal types of oysters, which both provide a habitable place for smaller sea animals to live within their hard shells.
What led up to Charles Darwin's discovery?
Charles Darwin's studies in the natural world actually led up to the discovery of natural selection. Darwin observed the population barnacles and later pigeons to observe variations as they were crossbred within their own species.
What is a subphylum of anthropods called?
The groups, or classes, within the phylum of the Arthropoda are Hexapoda (insects and a few others), Chelicerata (scorpions, spiders and some others), Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, barnacles, krill, loads of other things) and Myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes). Basically six legs, eight legs, ten legs, lots of legs.
What is another example of commensalism besides the whale and barnacles?
Crabs and Shrimps often form commensalistic symbiotic relationships with anemones in tropical waters, again for the purposes of protection from predation. For instance the Anemone crab, Neopetrolisthes oshimai, which is a filter feeding Porcelain crab, lives and captures its food from within the tentacles of giant anemones.See related link for more details.
Do mussels live in water?
yes or by the water...I studied mussels in high school
What eats the Pacific oyster?
they prefer to live on hard surfaces in sheltered waters within the intertidal zone. They can survive in salinities between 10 and 32 parts per thousand, and temperatures of -1 to 35° Celcius.
Where do all clams live?
Well, there are different types of clams...so they dont all live together. There is one question I found: Where do clams live? The answer was:they live in various places. In the water most likely.I find that a little confusing because you don't know exactly where they live. Maybe you can find the answer in a science book or another website.
