For a plant and animal to be truly interdependent, which of the following must happen? a. neither the plant nor the animal gets any benefits from the other. b. the animal must need the plant for something, but the plant gets no benefit from the animal. c. the plant must need the animal for something, but the animal gets no benefit from the plant. d. the plant must need the animal for something, while the animal must need something from the plant.

D. The plant must need the animal for something, while the animal must need something from the plant

Explanation:

Plants and animals are different species of organisms that can be found coexisting in an ecosystem. In as much as they coexist, they must interact. Their interaction brings about the interdependence between the two organisms. INTERDEPENDENCE means to mutually depend on one another for something.

Thus, based on this definition, for a plant and animal to be truly interdependent, both organisms must need something from one another. For example, in an ecosystem, an animal that is herbivorous i.e. feeds on plant only needs to gain energy by feeding on a plant. Also, a monoecious plant needs an animal to help transfer its pollens to another plant of the same species (a process called pollination). This example shows how a plant can rely on an animal for something (pollination) and an animal rely on a plant for something (food).

this age may represent the age of the earth's accretion, of core formation, or of the material from which the earth formed. this dating is based on evidence from radiometric age-dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.

imagine a line passing through the center of earth that goes through both the north pole and the south pole. this imaginary line is called an axis. earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. this spinning movement is called earth's rotation. at the same time that the earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the sun. this movement is called revolution.
