Biology Essentials- Populations Guided Viewing Worksheet Name: Selena Felix 1: What is symbiosis?

What is a good example of a symbiotic relationship? Symbiosis is living together or safe life. A good example of a symbiotic relationship is the clown fish and the seaaneminy. 2: List all of the types of interactions between two types of organisms in an ecosystem (give an example of each).

3: Ecosystem Feedback Mechanisms Explain how the Wolves/Elk populations in Yellowstone are a great example of a symbiotic relationship and a negative feedback loop. Wolves and elk populations in Yellowstone are a great example of a negative loop, because number of wolves dictate number of elk and number of elk dictate number of wolves. It's a great example of symbiotic, because it shows that one benefits while the other doesn't. 4: What is the definition of a population? Populations are made up of a bunch of different individuals. All choices made by individuals create a population with a specific behavior. 5: Discuss what is happening with the Kudzu Plant in the United States and explain how this is an example of a symbiotic relationship (which?). Nothing was adapted to eat Kudzu, therefore the population of Kudzu increaased greatly. There is a bug that is evolved to eat Kudzu. This is a symbiotic relationship, because the Kudzu and

the stink bug are interacting with each other. It is predation/parasitism, because only the stink bugs are gaining benefits.
