Answer & Explanation:
a) a) Mutualistic relationship differs from parasitism because the first one benefits both of the involved organisms. Otherwise, parasitism benefits only one of the organisms and it can harm the host. Therefore, the parasite would have to be smaller than the host and it would be somehow extracting energy from the host.
b) The direction of evolutionary changes would follow some kind of pattern, like coevolution. Therefore, analyzing the phylogenies individually and then contrasting them, would help to understand how the host, as well as the parasite, have been evolving.
c) The phylogeny would also help to understand what changed first, or if they changed together as a result of coevolution.
Answer:
I believe the correct answer would be letter <u>D</u>. or <u>hominids</u>

Plants are in the ground with soil
A complex assemblage of animals, plants, and their environment through which materials and energy move is known as ecosystem.
<h3>What is a ecosystem?</h3>
All the organisms that live in an ecosystem are present, along with their physical surroundings. Through energy flows and nutrient cycles, these biotic and abiotic components are interconnected. Plant tissue absorbs energy from the system through photosynthesis. Animals contribute significantly to the flow of matter and energy through the system by eating plants and one another as well as.
Additionally, they affect the biomass levels of the microbial and plant communities. Decomposers help to promote nutrient cycling by transforming nutrients stored in dead biomass back into a form that can be easily utilized by plants and microbes. They do this by consuming dead organic matter and releasing carbon back into the atmosphere.
