23 In any environment or ecosystem, organisms can have several different types of relationships. Three types of relationships are described below. Ecological Relationships Relationship Description Barnacles (small crustaceans) adhere to the skin of a whale in order to be deposited in a new location that is abundant in resources. The whale does not appear to be affected. Fleas attach to the skin of warm-blooded animals, feed on their blood, and make the animals itch. Fungal mycorrhizae live on plant roots and increase the plant's ability to absorb nutrients. The mycorrhizae are provided with carbohydrates from the plant Y Y Z Which of these correctly describes the relationships between the organisms? A X: mutualism Y: parasitism Z: commensalism C X: parasitism Y: commerisallsm Z: mutualism B X, commensalism Y: mutualism Z: parasitism D X: commensalism Y; parasitism Z: mutualism

The ecosystem organisms have several different types of relationships. The ecological relationships affect the organism interaction as X: commensalism Y: parasitism Z: mutualism. Thus option D is correct.

What is an ecological relationship?

An ecological relationship is an overlapping relationship that an organism has with the environment and is characterized by five types as

competition,
predation,
commensalism,
mutualism, and
parasitism.

The ecological system all organisms are dependent on each other for food and growth. Thus the fleas attached to the skin of the warm-blooded animals are a sign of parasitism and fungus increases the plant's growth is a sign of mutualism.
