The animals need the bacteria to help break down the food. The bacteria benefit since they get food, while we benefit since the bacteria help us digest our food.
Both benefit
Yes, fungi can form symbiotic associations with animals and bacteria. For example, lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Additionally, some insects have mutualistic relationships with fungi, where the insects benefit from the nutrients provided by the fungi.
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.
A mutualistic relationship is when both sides benefit from their interaction. In the case of the cheetah and the grasslands, although the grasslands are inanimate, the cheetah acts in keeping order amongst grassland species. For example by preying on animals that live in the grasslands, the cheetah stabilizes the animals population which in turn ensures that all the living animals have enough food/water/shelter to survive.
None. Animals that can digest cellulose host special bacteria to digest the cellulose molecules, and humans do not host these.
No, microorganisms that cause disease and infection in plants and animals are not mutualistic. They are typically considered pathogens, which are organisms that harm their hosts. Mutualistic relationships involve both organisms benefiting from the interaction.
The relationship between plants and animals is called symbiosis. This relationship can take various forms, such as mutualistic, commensal, or parasitic, where both parties can benefit, one benefits while the other is unaffected, or one benefits at the expense of the other, respectively.
The whistling thorn tree, known for its hollow thorns that house mutualistic ants, is primarily consumed by herbivores such as giraffes and elephants. These animals feed on the leaves and pods of the tree, while the ants protect the tree from herbivory and other threats. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the tree and the animals that feed on it.
bees and flowers
a mutalistic relationship is when 2 organisms benefit from each other. for example, a flower and a bee, the bee gets pollen from the flower to use and the bee then helps pollinate other flowers so they can reproduce. think about it this way: Mutualism- :) :) Parasitism- :) :( Commensalism- :) :l
There are symbiotic relationships between animals and bacteria in the digestive area. The animals give the bacteria a place to live and the bacteria help break down food. Digestion would be a lot more difficult without these symbiotic relationships.
Acacia trees primarily disperse their seeds through a mutualistic relationship with animals. The seeds are often encased in pods that are attractive to various animals, which consume them and later excrete the seeds at different locations, aiding in their spread. Additionally, some acacia species have seeds that are adapted to germinate after passing through the digestive tracts of animals. This method not only helps in dispersing the seeds but also promotes their germination in nutrient-rich environments.
