Wolves niche or job in the Yellowstone ecosystem includes which of the following?
Hunt Herbivores to limit their populations
Feed on dead animals which helps recycle nutrients in an ecosystem
Cause the decay of dead organisms, which releases usable energy to herbivores and carnivores
Produce energy from the Sun that supplies energy for the entire ecosystem A

9. 2 - $300
Flowering plants provides a source of food for the animal in the form of nectar. In return, the animal provides a service by spreading the pollen of the flower from plant to plant, increasing the spread of genetic information and providing for more biological diversity. This symbiotic relationship would best be described as __________.
Commensalism
Predation
Parasitism
Mutualism
D- Mutualism

10. 2 - $400
One interesting symbiotic relationship is the hornworm caterpillar and the braconid wasp. The wasp lays eggs inside the hornworm, which then hatch and kills the host.  What type of relationship is this?
Commensalism
Predation
Parasitism
Mutualism

11. 2 - $500
Barnacles are normally sessile, or non-moving sea creatures. Some barnacles have attached themselves to the sides of various sea life, such as whales, in order to have a more advantageous position in life. These barnacles benefit by receiving transportation all over the ocean, which exposes them to more currents and feeding opportunities than they would normally experience. The whale neither benefits nor is harmed by the barnacles. What type of symbiotic relationship is described above?
Commensalism
Predation
Parasitism
Mutualism
A- Commensalism

12. 3 - $100
