Pseudoscorpions are scorpion-like insects that usually grow to less than one centimeter in length. They are different from other types of scorpions in the way that they do not have stingers. Some species of the pseudoscorpions hide themselves under the wing covers of large insects like beetles. This gives them protection from their predators, and also provides them a means of transportation over a larger area. What is the relationship? A. Predation B. Mutualism C. Symbiosis D. Commensalism

D. Predation
Galapagos tortoises eat the branches of the cactus plants that grow on the Galapagos islands. On one of the islands, where long-necked tortoises live, the branches are higher off the ground. On another island, where short-necked tortoises live, the branches are lower down. What is the relationship between the Galapagos tortoise and the branches of the cactus? A. Symbiosis B. Parasitism C. Mutualism D. Predation

B. Commensalism
The burdocks are a common type of weed that are mostly found along roadsides, and on barren land and fields. The burdock seeds have long, curved spines attached to them. They easily catch onto the fur of passing animals, which carry and drop off these seeds to other regions. What is the relationship of the example? A. Parasitism B. Commensalism C. Predation D. Symbiosis

B. Predation
The fastest lions are able to catch food and eat, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster lions make up more and more of the population. The fastest zebras are able to escape the lions, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster zebras make up more and more of the population. An important thing to realize is that as both organisms become faster to adapt to their environments, their relationship remains the same: because they are both getting faster, neither gets faster in relation to the other. What relationship is this describing? A. Parasitism B. Predation C. Commensalism D. Mutualism
