The symbiotic relationship between a flower and the insect that feeds on its nectar is an example of
a. mutualism because the flower provides the insect with food and the insect pollinates the flower.
b. parasitism because the insect lives off the nectar from the flower.
c. commensalism because the insect does not harm the flower and the flower does not benefit from the relationship.
d. predation because the insect feeds on the flower.
Because Mutualism is BOTH are benefited from it, with Parasitism is when one benefits and one is harmed (ie a leech and a human), Commensalism is one is benefited and the other is not effected (ie Green Tree Frog and a rainforest tree) and predation is when BOTH are harmed.
