The act of one organism feeding on another is known as:?
A.) Predation
B.) Parasitism
C.) Symbiosis
D.) Mutualism
Answer:
Predation, but depending on the symbiotic relationship, it could possibly be parasatism as well. Parasatitism is when one animal lives off another, (like an intestinal worm feeds off it's host but doesn't kill it), whereas predation the organism kills the other organism to eat it.
Your question is a little ambiguous.
B. parasitism
All of those involve one organism feeding on another. If the organism is killed in the process, it is called predation.
If the organism suffers but does not die directly it is parasitism.
If the organisms feed off of each other and each benefits from it they may have a symbiotic or mutualistic interaction.
b. parasitism and I was going to say that before i even read the answer!
The most correct answer appears to be A) Predation
Yes, all of those involve one organism feeding on another.
If the organism is killed in the process, it is called predation.
If the organism suffers but does not die directly it is parasitism.
If the organisms feed off of each other and each benefits from it they may have a symbiotic or mutualistic interaction.
B.) Parasitism
I would say A.) Predation because a predator (first organism) is feeding off of the second one.
