    Hi,
    A = Alelopathy Alelopathy is when one plant releases chemicals which cause certain other plants around it to grow slowly.

    C = Commensalism A relationship between two organisms where one species is helped, but the other is unaffected. Example: The Northern Hog Sucker is a fish that turns over stones looking for food. Smaller fish follow the sucker to grab whatever it misses.

    D = Dispersal This could be a type of Mutualism or Commensalism. Dispersal means "to spread." Sometimes, after they eat part of a plant, animals help the plant by spreading its seeds. They do the same for fungi, except they spread spores instead of seeds. Example 1: A Blue Jay eats acorns from oak trees. Sometimes it flies off with an acorn and buries it so it can eat it later. If the bird forgets about it, the acorn can grow into a new tree. Example 2: A Red Fox eats some wild grapes. Later, the fox poops out some seeds, which grow into new grape vines. Example 3: A fly lands on a mushroom and eats some of it. While it eats, some of the mushroom's spores stick to the fly. When the fly dies, the spores are in a new place and can grow into new mushrooms. Example 4 (Commensalism): Water birds, such as ducks or herons, carry mud on their feet from one body of water to another. Tiny organisms in the mud, such as algae or amoebas, get transported in the mud to a new place. The birds don't get helped, so it's not Mutualism.
    Thanks

    Barnacles adhering to the skin of a whale or shell of a mollusk.

    The barnacle benefits by finding a habitat where food is available.

    Whale receives nothing

    I have biology homework and I need one good example of commensalism. Anyone know one?
  11. Guest4432
    A good example is when a barnicle attaches onto a whales tale. The barnical gets transported to a new scorce for food and the whale just takes it there, without realizing what it is on. So, yeah.
