competition
commensalism
parasitism

The Karner blue butterfly has been listed as an endangered species since 1992. Karner blue butterfly larvae feed only on wild lupine plants, which require a habitat with dry soil and exposure to direct sunlight.
Which of the following would be the best habitat for wild lupine that could help Karner blue butterfly populations recover?
a mountain top that is covered in snow
a river bank that was flooded by high water
an open area in a forest that was cleared by fire
an isolated area in a jungle that has many large trees

phytoplankton
barnacle
kelp
sea star
Which of the following statements best describes how an increase in the size of a mammal population could be related to a large surplus of food?
With an abundance of food, adults now outnumber predators.
With enough to eat, more females are healthy and the birth rate increases.
Since there is no competition for food, most individuals develop mutualistic relationships.
Since they no longer need to hunt, some males increase their territories and cause other males to move away.
