- determine what type of interaction the example is describing 1. Pilotfish remove and eat parasites found on a shark's skin. 2. A Brown-headed cowbird lays her eggs in the nest of a Kirtland's warbler who then raises the young cowbirds as if they were her own. 3.The fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis infects ants and alters the ant’s behavior. The infected ant leaves its colony and attaches itself to the underside of a leaf and remains there until the fungus’ life cycle is completed. At this point, a fruiting body emerges from the ant’s head, killing the ant, and the fungal spores are released into the environment. 4. A scorpion stings and subdues its grasshopper prey, then eats the grasshopper. 5.

- Select the INCORRECT match between parasite example and type: a. lice/ endoparasite b. ringworm fungus/ permanent parasite c. tapeworm/ endoparasite d. biting mosquito/ ectoparasite e. housefly walking on manure/ mechanical vectorarrow_forwardBased on the text on mosquitoes eating: 1.Identify abiotic factors that support the survival and reproduction of the mosquitoes and why the pest needs this factors 2. Identify biotic factors that support the survival and reproduction of the mosquitoes and why the pest needs this factors 3.Predict what factors in the environment can be altered to decrease the survival and reproduction of the pest and why?arrow_forwardThorns on a rose are an example of an adaptation to increase survival. How do the thorns help the rose to survive? The thorns help insects crawl to the flower. The thorns collect and store water to aide in the survival of the rose. The thorns are appealing to insects, causing them to be attracted to the rose. The rose then uses the insects for nourishment. The thorns serve as protection for the roses. Animals and insects avoid the roses because the thorns can cause harm.arrow_forward
