Answer 2

What do you need help with?

Answer 3

with?

Answer 4

For this assessment, you will write a short story.

1. In your story, you will pretend that you are traveling in an area and notice different plants, animals, and other species. You can use your imagination and create pretend organisms, or use examples of real organisms.
2. You will use examples that demonstrate each of these types of relationships: predator-prey, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism. You may not use the same examples given in this lesson.
3. In your story, be sure to compare and contrast the relationships that you observe. Each time you present a new example compare it to a previous example.

Answer 5

@Aureyliant

Answer 6

what are the examples the lesson already tells you?

Answer 7

let me see

Answer 8

Predator-Prey Example

Predators are organisms that eat other organisms. The organism that the predator eats is called their prey. Only the predator benefits in this relationship

Commensalism

One organism benefits from this relationship. The other organism is neither helped nor harmed.

Parasitism

One organism lives in or on another and gains its nourishment from the organism. Only one organism benefits from this relationship the other is harmed.

Mutualism

One species live in, on, or near another and both gain something they need. Both species benefit from this relationship.

Answer 9

For predator- pray, just think about the food chain, what lays on top and what lays in the bottom. For example a bear and salmon, spiders eat small insects and crocodiles eat fish

Answer 10

okay but can you help me write a story

Answer 11

Ok, what would be a place you would like to travel to?

Answer 12

can it be anywhere?

Answer 13

yep

Answer 14

ok um, north carolina

Answer 15

so your story could be in the woods in north carolina, we can start there

Answer 16

ok awesome!

Answer 17

now think of animals you'd find in north carolina, you could easily find a list if all the animals that are found there

Answer 18

but does it have to be animals in the woods or animals in general in nc

Answer 19

I had a look at it and for predator you could use a black bear for predator, the location you can choose what ever you want

Answer 20

For what I understood you could even be doing a road trip across north carolina

Answer 21

nah, i want to do the woods

Answer 22

ok so how would i start my fist couple of sentences?

Answer 23

@jmds06

Answer 24

I would set location first then describe what you would see

Answer 25

ok the location is the woods

Answer 26

so how would you put that in the first sentence

Answer 27

For example " I found myself in the North Carolinian woods surrounded by a vast amount of wildlife"

Answer 28

ok so thats the first sentence

Answer 29

how can we continue from there?

Answer 30

I think you should continue by describing what you see around you " Everywhere I looked I saw animals and plants I had never seen before, after a couple minutes of hiking I spotted a black bear.

Answer 31

what you see would be the examples of the relationships of the assessment.

Answer 32

what example do i start with?

Answer 33

I would say predator and prey, in the example I gave you it would be black bear- bees, yellow jackets and larvae.

Answer 34

so i start with predator and prey.. how would i say an example of predator prey in the woods about a black bear and bees

Answer 35

"the black bear seemed to be looking for something to eat while it came across a beehive..."

Answer 36

a beehive... thats the end of the sentence?

Answer 37

can you explain it more please ;)

Answer 38

no

Answer 39

You could say it knocked the beehive down and approached it, the bear then pushed the beehive to the side and found a couple of dead bees around it that he ate.

Answer 40

ok great! are we done with the predator and prey example?

Answer 41

I think so, for the others you could just follow the same template, glad I could help.

Answer 42

ok but can you help with the other examples please!!!!

Answer 43

:)

Answer 44

@jmds06

Answer 45

ok

Answer 46

lets move onto the mutualism ;) example

Answer 47

@jmds06

Answer 48

how would you move on to the mutualism example.

Answer 49

first find two animals that show the mutualism relationship check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_of_North_Carolina

Answer 50

ok i pick the coyote and the raccoon :)

Answer 51

how do they help each other?

Answer 52

start there, that will be the middle of your sentence.

Answer 53

wait so how do i start it off

Answer 54

Continue from where you left off, I believe that would be the the predator-prey example, " after more walking I came across a ______ and a _______, they seemed to be helping each other doing _______", use this template, fill in the blanks with the animals and the last one with however it is they help eachother"

Answer 55

i need help with the second blank

Answer 56

the last one?

Answer 57

yes i need help on this part.. they seemed to be helping each other doing _______"

Answer 58

well, you had to choose two animals that have a mutualistic relationship, you chose the coyote and the racoon, if they help each other, how do they do it?

Answer 59

i dont know how they help eachother

Answer 60

Well I think they don't.

Answer 61

read the animals link's with the info about each and see if you can find any that actually help each other by doing whatever

Answer 62

if you wan you can pick two animals and tell me how they help eachother

Answer 63

that would be doing the work for you, and i shouldn't do that, I can help you find a way to solve your problem which I already did.

Answer 64

ok so let me pick 2 different animals

Answer 65

but actually see if they show mutalism

Answer 66

do a squirrel and a mouse show mutualism

Answer 67

?? @jmds06

Answer 68

I dont think so, squirrels don't seem to help other animals but its could help the plants

Answer 69

as it's diet consists of mostly seeds and nuts, If the bury a seed and the environment has proper conditions the seed will grow, I imagine this could be an mutualism example as later the tree will produce food and shelter for the squirrel.

Answer 70

can you re-do the sentecne. i dont think it makes sense

Answer 71

@jmds06

Answer 72

After more walking I came across a gray squirrel, it's mouth was full of seeds which after a while it buried them near a tree, it quickly got away and didn't return anymore, if the squirrel doesn't come back in time the seed will sprout and will then grow into a tree which in the future may provide food and shelter to the squirrel.

Answer 73

awesome, now its time for the commensalism example :)

Answer 74

@jmds06

Answer 75

please hurry :)

Answer 76

??

Answer 77

@jmds06

Answer 78

@jmds06 are you going to answer?

Answer 79

please help me ! i need help :(

Answer 80

Lol still need help? @geny55

Answer 81

yes :)

Answer 82

@Koikkara can you help please!

Answer 83

\(How~can~i ~Help~you~?\)

Answer 84

i need you to help me finish the story and my examples

Answer 85

Alright, where is the story?

Answer 86

okay this is what i have so far..
I found myself in the North Carolinian woods surrounded by a vast amount of wildlife. Everywhere I looked I saw animals and plants I had never seen before, after a couple minutes of hiking I spotted a black bear. The black bear seemed to be looking for something to eat while it came across a beehive. The bear knocked the beehive down and approached it. The bear then pushed the beehive to the side and found a couple of dead bees around it that he ate. That would be the predator and prey example. After more walking I came across a gray squirrel, it's mouth was full of seeds which after a while it buried them near a tree, it quickly got away and didn't return anymore, if the squirrel doesn't come back in time the seed will sprout and will then grow into a tree which in the future may provide food and shelter to the squirrel. That would be the mutualism example.

Answer 87

i still need the commensalism example, the parasitism example, and the ending of the story :)

Answer 88

@Koikkara

Answer 89

\(Grammar~Check~!\)

"After more walking">> use>Moving forward a little.
"gray">> it's Grey
" which after a while it buried them">> use> it buried the rest
"it quickly got away and didn't return anymore">> was gone and never returned.

\(Provide~Fullstop "."After ~each~ line\)

"come back in time">>return soon
"and will then grow">> and will grow

\(Provide~Fullstop "."After ~each~ line\)
"which in the future may">> in future, it may provide

\(Great\), Now what examples remaining ? @geny55

Answer 90

i still need the commensalism example, the parasitism example, and the ending of the story :)

Answer 91

hmm... In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationships between two organisms where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. Then, \(continue...\)

Answer 92

i don't need to write the definition for each example.. so what would be a good example for commensalism

Answer 93

\(Story~Continued...\)
Moving further,, i found a deer, grazing at the fresh green grass. Underneath the grass, there lived earthworms. They were busy plughing and tilting the land like farmer in fields.

Answer 94

so like this...

Answer 95

\(plowing ~or~plughing\)

\(Continue...\)
The deer ran away as soon as it saw me. I went near the grass and had a closer look at the leaves. there i found a tapeworm causing a slow death to the plant.

Answer 96

\(which~is ~an~example~of~parasitism\)

\(Continue..\) Later, I climbed one of the trees after a long walk and found myself back in the in the North Carolinian woods.

\(It's~ Done~!!\) \(Please~Correct~your~grammar~and~spelling\)
