Answer 1

Here’s how you can fill in the chart based on the type of symbiosis and the organisms involved:

| Type of Symbiosis | Organism Harmed |
|-----------------------|--------------------------|
| owl and mouse | mouse |
| zebra and oxpecker | neither |
| cat and tapeworm | tapeworm |
| cattle egret and cow | neither |
| lion and hyena | both |

Here's the justification for each pairing:

- **owl and mouse**: This is a predation relationship where the mouse (prey) is harmed.
- **zebra and oxpecker**: This is mutualism as the oxpecker benefits from feeding on parasites while the zebra gets cleaned.
- **cat and tapeworm**: This is parasitism as the tapeworm benefits at the expense of the cat.
- **cattle egret and cow**: This is a commensal relationship where the cattle egret benefits from insects disturbed by the cow, and the cow is neither helped nor harmed.
- **lion and hyena**: This represents competition as both can be harmed by competing for the same resources.
