The biological relationship between a plant and its pollinator is known as?
Mutualism
Pollinator and the the plant they interact with is an example of what?
Mutualistic interaction
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 two organisms share a mutualistic partnership in the formation of mycorrhizae?
plant and fungi
Some plants attract only one type of pollinator describe an advantage and a diadvantage of having only one type of pollinator?
Think of a plant that has bees as its one type of pollinator. The pollen would be taken long distances to other plants of the species and good genetic recombination would ensue from this. Also, a plant spread out like this would have many different micro environments to flourish in and the variations of this plant could do better in one of these environments. The obvious disadvantage would be if your pollinator succumbed to some disease or other local natural disaster.
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 is the mutualistic relationship between legumes and nodule bacteria?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
Is a flowering plant and an insect a parasitism?
No, that is the wrong kind of symbiosis. The relationship between a flowering plant and an insect is a mutualistic one, as both of them gain something from the symbiosis. A parasitic relationship is where the parasite harms its host.
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.
