Some types of algae can grow together with fungi. The fungi provide nutrients from decaying matter to the algae, while the energy the algae get from sunlight is shared with the fungi. Based on this information, how would you describe this relationship? (1 point)

Question

Responses

The two organisms are in a mutualistic relationship.
The two organisms are in a mutualistic relationship.

The fungus is a parasite, and the algae is the host.
The fungus is a parasite, and the algae is the host.

The two organisms are in competition.
The two organisms are in competition.

The algae is the predator, and the fungus is the prey.

Answer 1

The correct description of the relationship is:

The two organisms are in a mutualistic relationship.

In this relationship, both the fungi and algae benefit from each other—fungi provide nutrients to the algae from decaying matter, while algae provide energy through photosynthesis.

Answer 2

A hawk eats a mouse. This kills the mouse, but it also means that the remaining mice will not have to compete as much for food with each other. Based on this information, what is the relationship between the hawk and the mouse? (1 point)
Responses

The two organisms are in a parasitic relationship.
The two organisms are in a parasitic relationship.

The two organisms are in a competitive relationship.
The two organisms are in a competitive relationship.

The two organisms are in a predator-prey relationship.
The two organisms are in a predator-prey relationship.

The two organisms are in a mutualistic relationship.

Answer 3

The correct description of the relationship between the hawk and the mouse is:

The two organisms are in a predator-prey relationship.

In this relationship, the hawk (predator) kills and eats the mouse (prey), which is a typical interaction in predator-prey dynamics.

Answer 4

Which statement about the relationship between organisms and the environment is correct?(1 point)
Responses

Organisms depend on a subset of their environment, which is made of only living things.
Organisms depend on a subset of their environment, which is made of only living things.

Organisms depend on the environment, which is made of living and nonliving things.
Organisms depend on the environment, which is made of living and nonliving things.

Organisms depend on the environment, which is made only of living things.
Organisms depend on the environment, which is made only of living things.

Organisms depend on a subset of their environment, which is made only of nonliving things.

Answer 5

The correct statement about the relationship between organisms and the environment is:

Organisms depend on the environment, which is made of living and nonliving things.

This is accurate because organisms interact with both biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors in their environment, such as other organisms, water, minerals, sunlight, and climate.

Answer 6

An animal lives in Century National Park, and park rangers want to move it to Independence National Park. How should the new habitat compare with the current habitat in order for the animal to live there?(1 point)
Responses

Biotic factors in both parks should be similar, while abiotic factors can be different.
Biotic factors in both parks should be similar, while abiotic factors can be different.

Biotic and abiotic factors in both parks can be different.
Biotic and abiotic factors in both parks can be different.

Abiotic factors in both parks should be similar, while biotic factors can be different.
Abiotic factors in both parks should be similar, while biotic factors can be different.

Biotic and abiotic factors in both parks should be similar.

Answer 7

The correct response is:

Biotic and abiotic factors in both parks should be similar.

For the animal to survive and thrive in a new habitat, both biotic factors (such as food availability, predators, and competitors) and abiotic factors (such as climate, soil type, and water availability) need to be similar to those in its current habitat. This ensures the animal can adapt and find the resources it needs to live.
