Detailed explanation-1: -The frogs and flies interact in a predator-prey relationship: the frogs prey on the flies. The rate of reproduction in frogs is also affected by the number of flies.

Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest example of commensalism is a bird making a nest in a tree. The tree provides shelter and protection to the bird without getting significantly harmed or affected by the bird. Another typical example is the cattle egrets (birds) that feed upon the insects stirred up by the feeding cattle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Competition and predation are ecological relationships but are not symbiotic. Predation does not occur over a long period of time, and competition is an indirect interaction over resources.

Detailed explanation-4: -One example of symbiosis is the relationship between certain species of ants and acacia trees. Another example of symbiosis is the relationship between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants such as clover, alfalfa, and soybeans. More items •14-Jul-2022
