Detailed explanation-1: -Mutualism is a type of interaction in which both the organisms involved benefit from each other. For example a bee and a pollinating flower. The bee gains nectar from the flower for survival, and in turn helps the plant propagate by carrying its pollen to other flowers. Hence, mutualism is a beneficial interaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -When they land in a flower, the bees get some pollen on their hairy bodies, and when they land in the next flower, some of the pollen from the first one rubs off, pollinating* the plant. This benefits the plants. In this mutualistic relationship, the bees get to eat, and the flowering plants get to reproduce. 3.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mutualism is when two organisms are involved. For example, A bumble bee and a flower. The bee lands on the flower and starts to take the pollen from the flower. This helps the bee live. This helps the flower produce.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the bees move on from one flower to the next, some of the pollen brushes off and pollinates the new flower. Both the bees and the flowers benefit from this relationship, so it’s a good example of mutualism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pistol shrimps and gobies. Aphids and ants. Woolly bats and pitcher plants. Coral and algae. Oxpeckers and large mammals. Clownfish and anemones. Honeyguides and humans. The senita cactus and senita moth.
