Why do some flowers have nector?
Most plants need to have pollen transferred from one flower to another. They produce nectar to attract insects such as bees. As the insects take the nectar some of the pollen sticks to their bodies and is transferred to the next flower they visit. It could be seen as a a sort of payment by the plant for services by the insects.
Examples of mutualism and why?
an example of mutualism could be an oxpecker and a rhino. The birds peck and eat little insects on the rhino's back for food. The rhino then has harmful insects removed because of the birds. Also, rhinos have bad eyesight. When the birds see danger they fly away which warns the rhino (because it can feel the birds lifting off) that danger is near.
