6. Application: The class will be divided into groups where in each group will discuss one relationship and be able to give example. IV. Evaluation Identify whether the following relationships are Mutualism, Commensalism, Parasitism, Predation, Competition and Cooperation. ____________ 1. ____________ 2. ____________ 3. ____________ 4. ____________ 5. Orchids grow on branches of trees but do not harm the tree. A kingfisher dives into the pond to catch fish for food. Ticks suck blood on the skin of man. Spiders build their webs on plants. Animals give off carbon dioxide that plants use in photosynthesis. Plants release oxygen that animals need for respiration. ____________ 6. Bangus and tilapia feed on the same algae in a pond. ____________ 7. Ant gathering food for their colony. ____________ 8. Birds build their nests on branches of trees but do not harm the trees. ____________ 9. Cows and goats eat the same kind of grass in a field. ____________10.
