2) Reflect on this:
How has/will human activities in the Amazon regions affect the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants?
Human has been destroying the habitat of the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants as a result from deforestation for urban development. This will make the ants go without a home and eventually die. Soon, it will become extinct. In addition, by cutting down all the trees, we are destroying the traps made by the ants and soon they will have nothing to eat and lead to death.
3) Answer the following questions:
a) From the extract, identify the different symbiotic relationships and cite the organisms involved. Clue: There are at least 3 types of relationship.
mutualism. The trees and the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants.
Predation. The insects flying around and the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants.
Competition. The trees fight for sunlight.
b) For each type of relationship you have identified in (a), name another example of a pair of organisms depicting that relationship in nature.
Mutualism- clown fish and sea anemone.
Predation- tiger and deer
Competition- lion and hyena
