LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant-pollinator interactions are good examples of mutualistic interactions because nearly three-quarters of all extant flowering plants (angiosperms) receive pollination services from animals (National Research Council 2007).

Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between flower and honeybee is beneficial for both because the flowers get pollinated with the help of honeybee and the honeybee obtains nectar from the flower. Thus, both flower and honeybee are mutually benefited.

Detailed explanation-3: -In mutualistic relationships between flowers and their pollinators, flowers benefit by having their pollen efficiently distributed to other flowers of the same species, allowing them to reproduce. Pollinators benefit by feeding on the nutritious pollen and nectar that flowers provide.
