Examples of commensalism in nature

Answer 1

Mutualism-

*Humans and Plants

(We breathe out carbon dioxide then the plants absorb it then release oxygen.... etc.) Humans and plants both benefit from this relationship

Commensalism-

*Killdeer Birds and Cape Buffalo

(the Killdeer Bird lies down on the buffalo and the buffalo protects the Bird. But the bird DOES NOT harm the buffalo.) Birds benefit, but Cape Buffalo is not affected.

Parasitism-

*Ticks and Humans

(The ticks suck the blood and is therefore benefited, but does not benefit the human, but harms them instead.) The ticks benefit, but humans are harmed.

Answer 2

A example of commensalism is barnacles and grey whales. You know that white stuff you see on gray whales? That's barnacles. Barnacles live on gray whales and get transported around the ocean. Cryptolepas rhachianecti attaches only to grey whales not any other kind, once they attach they stay on their for the rest of their life. The barnacles stick out feather feet to comb the sea and capture plankton. Barnacles are mainly on the whales head, back, flippers and tail flucks.

Hope I helped you!! thanks

Answer 3

Remora and the Shark. Remora is a small fish that attaches itself to a shark by the suction cup on its head.

Cattle Egret and Cattle. The egret perches on the cow's back from where it feeds on small insects on the cow.

Epiphytes on trees. Epiphytes grow on trees, thus they get support from trees so that they can get maximum sunlight.
commensalism is a process in which on eorganism gets benifit and the other doesnot......example is sea anemone and clown fish

Answer 4

I don't know any mutualism, but I know about commensalism. A butterfly or skipper sucks nectar from the flowers and/or plants. The butterfly/skipper receives food, but the flower or plant is unaffected.

That is not right by the way because the flowers pollinate a better example would be the remora fish and the shark. The shark eat food and the leftovers are eaten by the remora fish while the shark is unaffected.

Mutalism. Lichen is algae and fungi on a tree. The fungus give water to the algae and the algae uses that to make food for both organisms.

Answer 5

Ticks and Humans are examples of

(The ticks suck the blood and is therefore benefited, but does not benefit the human, but harms them instead.) The ticks benefit, but humans are harmed.

Answer 6

An example of commensalism in nature is the relationship between barnacles and humpback whales. Barnacles attach themselves to the skin of whales and benefit by getting transportation and access to food particles in the water, while the whales are not significantly affected by the barnacles.

Another example is the relationship between cattle egrets and grazing livestock. The egrets feed on insects that are disturbed by the moving livestock, providing a benefit to the egrets without harming the livestock.

A third example is the association between certain species of ants and aphids. The ants protect the aphids from predators and in return, the aphids secrete a sugary substance that the ants feed on.

Answer 7

A bumblebee and a buttercup flower, the flower gets pollinated and the bee gets food.

Answer 8

mistletoe and spurce tree
