Certainly! Here are the matched concepts with their examples that display the relationship:
1. Competitive Exclusion Principle:
- A smaller barnacle has greater feeding success when it finds unoccupied space to inhabit as opposed to when it is attached to larger barnacles.
2. Commensalism:
- Whales and remoras travel together in the ocean. The remora is given protection from predators and feeds on the scraps left behind, and the whale is not helped or bothered by the remora.
3. Parasitism:
- Humans and bedbugs share the same space. The bedbugs feed on the blood of humans by piercing areas of exposed skin causing rashes to appear and itching to occur.
4. Symbiosis (Mutualism):
- Cells and mitochondria live together. The mitochondria provides energy for the cell, and the cell provides the mitochondria with a suitable environment to produce energy.
Each concept represents a different type of relationship between organisms, highlighting how they interact and depend on each other in their respective ecosystems.
