Introduction:
Symbiosis is a process that provides a close relationship between two species where both the species share habitats, means one can typically habitat on or in the other. Mutualism is one of the types of symbiotic relationship that benefitted both the members. Mutualism improves the fitness of both members.

Bacteria in the digestive systems of animals that help to break down the animals’ food, and in return receive a sheltered habitat and food. This is an example of mutualism.
True
False
To be considered biotic, an organism must meet several conditions for life
Viruses cannot be considered to be biotic because they do NOT:
1. Show a regulation of the internal environment (homeostasis)
2. Use/ process energy
3. Show adaptations to their environment or a response to their environment
4. Possess organization/order
Billions of dollars are invested in strategies to reduce the spread of infectious
diseases within and between countries. Many infectious diseases harm humans,
but governments also aim to prevent the spread of diseases that harm agriculture.
Assess the cause and effect of infectious diseases on agricultural products.

- Briefly describe the series of events that led to the bee kill. Did the pesticide applicators follow the law? If so, why did the bees die? If not, what did they do wrong and how did it kill bees?arrow_forwardI think my reasoning is wrong because I keep getting Italy as the answer choice. It seems odd to me that I got Italy three times. The other option is Burkina Faso. So, it is either Italy or Burkina Faso. Please carefully review my answer choices because I could be WRONG. Richness refers to the total number of species of microbe in the gut microbe. Italy, Europe seems to have greater gut microbe richness. Diversity- It is the variety of species Italy has a greater variety of species. Evenness refers to the distribution of abundance across the species in the community. Italy seems to have greater evenness as the species percentage is almost similar.arrow_forwardA bee consumes nectar from a flower witch of the following was described .
