Linkling — Relationships Among Organisms Pollinator Passage
Hi!
I'm Linkling.
Welcome to Pollinator Passage!
Will you help me investigate relationships among organisms?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Organisms interact in different ways.
Competition occurs when they use limited shared resources;
other relationships can benefit one or both partners.
Which example shows competition?
- A. A rock resting alone
- B. A bee beside an unopened map
- C. Plants sharing limited light
The answer is C: Plants sharing limited light
Organisms interact in different ways.
Competition occurs when they use limited shared resources;
other relationships can benefit one or both partners.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
A flower visitor can gain food while transferring pollen
that supports plant reproduction.
An observed interaction is evidence, not proof
that organisms consciously planned a partnership.
Which bee-flower benefit is supported?
- A. The bee turns into a flower
- B. Food for the bee and pollen transfer for the plant
- C. Unlimited resources appear
The answer is B: Food for the bee
and pollen transfer for the plant
A flower visitor can gain food while transferring pollen
that supports plant reproduction.
An observed interaction is evidence, not proof
that organisms consciously planned a partnership.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our cards show two plants competing for light
and a bee moving pollen while feeding.
These describe different relationships within the same ecosystem.
Can one ecosystem contain different relationships?
- A. Yes
- B. No
- C. Only one relationship can exist
The answer is A: Yes
Our cards show two plants competing for light
and a bee moving pollen while feeding.
These describe different relationships within the same ecosystem.
Nice investigating!
