Educational worksheet on ecological relationships in ecosystems, showing various organism interactions.

Certainly! Below is the completed table for Activity 5: Ecological Relationships in Ecosystem, based on the images provided. Each row describes the organisms involved, the type of ecological relationship, and an explanation of the interaction.

✔ Completed Table:

| Organisms | What organisms are involved? | What kind of relationship is existing between organism? | Explain the interaction happening between the organisms involved |
|-----------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Image 1 (Bee on flower) | Bee and Flower (e.g., dandelion or sunflower) | Mutualism | The bee gets nectar (food) from the flower, while the flower gets pollinated — helping it reproduce. Both benefit. |
| Image 2 (Leopard eating prey) | Leopard and its prey (e.g., antelope or deer) | Predation | The leopard hunts and eats the prey to get energy and nutrients. The prey is killed — one benefits, the other is harmed. |
| Image 3 (Mosquito biting skin) | Mosquito and Human (or animal host) | Parasitism | The mosquito feeds on blood (nutrients) from the host, which may cause irritation or disease. The mosquito benefits; the host is harmed. |
| Image 4 (Bird cleaning crocodile’s teeth) | Crocodile and Bird (e.g., Egyptian plover or tickbird) | Mutualism | The bird eats parasites or food scraps from the crocodile’s mouth, getting food. The crocodile gets cleaned — both benefit. |
| Image 5 (Two dogs fighting over carcass) | Two dogs (or canids) | Competition | Both dogs are competing for the same limited resource — the carcass (food). Neither may benefit if they fight instead of sharing. |
| Image 6 (Fungus growing on plant stem) | Fungus and Plant | Parasitism (or sometimes Commensalism, but likely parasitic here) | The fungus absorbs nutrients from the plant, often weakening or damaging it. The plant is harmed; the fungus benefits. |

📝 Notes:

- Mutualism: Both organisms benefit.
- Predation: One organism kills and eats another.
- Parasitism: One organism lives on or in another, harming it while benefiting.
- Competition: Organisms vie for the same limited resource (food, space, etc.).
- In Image 6, if the fungus is a pathogen (like rust or mildew), it’s parasitism. If it’s just growing without harming, it could be commensalism, but in most educational contexts, this image implies harm → parasitism.

✔ This activity helps students understand how different species interact in ecosystems — vital for learning about biodiversity, food chains, and environmental balance.
