Answer 2

Explanation:

Mutualism :

• Mutualism benefits both organisms in the relationship.
• For example, different species of nitrogen-fixíng bacteria such as Rhizobium live within the roots of leguminous plants (plants that have seeds in pods) and form nodules.
• These bacteria convert the nitrogen present inthe air into ammonia.
• Ammonia is converted into amino acids by the plant cells .
• The bacteria thus help the plants in protein synthesis.
• In return, the bacteria obtain nutrition from the plants.
• Lichens are an example of a mutually beneficial relationship between an alga and a fungus.
• Various animals also establish mutually beneficial relationships such as the one between clownfish and sea anemones.
• The sea anemones keep away the clownfish's predators by stinging them with their tentacles.
• The clownfish, being immune to the Sea anemones sting, can shelter in colonies of sea anemones.
• In return, the clownfish protect the sea anemones from other fish that feed on them.
• The faecal matter of the clownfish also provides nutrients to the sea anemones.
