Welcome to the quiz for TAKS 3_12B
1) Aphids feed on trees by sucking sugary tree sap out of the tree's phloem. But aphids are not very neat, just look at cars parked under aphid infested trees. The cars are covered with tree sap. But not all of the sap reaches your car. Some species of ants take advantage of this smaller insect by effectively domesticating the aphids. The ants' help the aphids move from plant to plant, and then milk them for the sap like a group of dairy cows. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
2) Epiphytes are organisms that find shelter under the leaves of some plants. They get nourishment from the air, but find a home under the leaves of these plants. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
3) Both rabbits and cows live with special types of bacteria in their digestive tract. The bacteria break down cellulose and release nutrients for the rabbit and cow. The herbivore gives the bacteria a home and a food supply. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
4) Remora fish are the fish that are seen swimming along with or attached to sharks. These fish get food as a result of the leftovers after a shark's meal. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
5) Mountain lions in Big Ben National Park in South Texas depend on the dear population for their food. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
6) If you have ever seen a field with cows, you may have noticed birds near by. As a cow moves through the field to graze, it causes insects and other small animals to move, allowing the birds to easily prey on them. The relationship between the cow and the birds is what type of symbiotic relationship?
7) Some species of amoebas will live in a frog's digestive tract. They will steal the nutrients from the frog which may cause disease in the frog or sometimes even death. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
8) A relationship in which a larger, faster animal helps to control population by hunting slower, weaker, or sicker animals is an example of what type of symbiotic relationship?
9) Cowbirds and cuckoos lay eggs in other bird's nests to be raised by adoptive parents, often kicking the rightful young out of the nest. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
10) A lamprey is a common type of aquatic animal in Lake Erie. It has a mouth that acts like a sucker and has rows of teeth inside. It feeds by attaching itself to other fish and feeding on it. This is an example of what time of symbiotic relationship?
