Question Aspen trees provide shade for small spruce and fir trees. They would not grow as well in direct sunlight. This is an example of what type of relationship?
40
Answer 4 – 40 Commensalism – one organism benefits (spruce & fir trees) and the other is neither harmed nor benefits (aspen trees).
41
Question What type of relationship is this an example of: Bighorn sheep take in worm eggs when grazing. The worm eggs hatch in the intestines and the larvae migrate to muscle tissue.
