Question

A group of ants attack a cicada, feed on it, and kill it, even though it is much larger than the ants. Which kind of relationship do the ant and the cicada share?

Answer 1

There are three kinds of symbioses. Three kinds of relations, between organisms.

I'll tell you about all three. And you can choose the one you think is correct.

1. Mututalism --- Both organisms benefit from one another.

2. Commensalism --- One organism benefits, and the other is totally unaffected.

3. Parasitism --- One organism benefits, by hurting the other organism.

Answer 2

mututalism!

Answer 3

Do you know what a mutualism is?

Answer 4

Both organisms benefit from one another.

Answer 5

Right.

Take a look at the question that you posted.

The ants...KILLED...the cicada.

The ants benefited from this.
But what happened to the cicada? It frikkin died.

Answer 6

The cicada did not get any benefits.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

We're not done with the first question!

Answer 10

There are two organisms here:

1. The ants.

2. The cicada.

The ants ATE AND KILLED the cicada.

Answer 11

Do you understand this?

Answer 12

kind of. im blonde.

Answer 13

I don't care if you have frikkin PURPLE hair.

Answer 14

Ants and cicadas are both animals.

The ants ate and killed the cicada.

In other words....on animal ate, and killed another animal.

Answer 15

So, the ants are happy. They got benefits, because they ate the cicada.

What happened to the cicada? It died.

Answer 16

A "mutualism" is where BOTH organisms benefit, and are happy.

Do you see why this ISN'T a mutualism?

Answer 17

ohh I get it so, Parasitism is the correct answer.

Answer 18

Right.

Answer 19

Good job. GOOD JOB.

Answer 20

yay!

Answer 21

Okay.

So, now we're talking about "prokaryotes."

"Prokaryotes" are organisms that don't have a NUCLEUS, inside of their cells.

Bacteria do not have a nucleus. That's why they're called prokaryotes.

Answer 22

Which of the following cells would not have a well-defined nucleus but would have a thick cell wall and ribosomes?
A. Onion Cell
B. cloi bacteria
C. Human Brain Cell

Answer 23

You really don't know this one?

Answer 24

A?

Answer 25

I'll give you a hint.

TWO hints.

No, THREE hints, actually.

1. Plant cells have a nucleus.

2. Animal cells have a nucleus.

3. Humans are made of animal cells.

Answer 26

so A

Answer 27

Onions are made of plant cells.

Do plant cells have a nucleus?

Answer 28

yes so B

Answer 29

Right.

Like we said before, in the very last question...bacteria are prokaryotes. They do not have a nucleus.

Answer 30

The presence of which organelle indicates that eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotic cells?

Answer 31

If you have anymore questions, you can make a separate post. I would help but I'm a bit busy.

Answer 32

ok thanks though!

Answer 33

I have purple AND blond hair!!
