This document discusses different types of ecological interactions: mutualism between bees and the flowers of guava trees, where the bees collect nectar and pollen and in turn help with pollination; commensalism between ferns and tree branches, where the ferns benefit from growing on branches but do not affect the tree; predation in a pond between frogs and insects, where the frogs consume the insects; and parasitism between mosquitoes and humans, where mosquitoes benefit by obtaining blood while transmitting diseases that harm humans. Guide questions are also provided for each interaction.
