Organismal Relationships

Question 10 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

It is beneficial for plants to have their seeds dispersed to reduce competition. Explain how a bird eating fruit is an example of mutualism.

The bird gets food by eating the fruit, and the plant benefits when the bird carries and disperses its seeds to new locations. Both organisms benefit, so the relationship is mutualism.
