4.

A cow is an example of a(n) ______________.
- Herbivore
- Producer
- Predator
- Parasite
Correct Answer

A. Herbivore

Explanation

A cow is an example of a herbivore because it primarily feeds on plants and vegetation. It has a specialized digestive system that allows it to break down and extract nutrients from plant material. Unlike predators that hunt and consume other animals, or parasites that rely on a host organism for survival, cows obtain their energy and nutrients from consuming plant matter, making them herbivores. Similarly, producers are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, which does not apply to cows.

5.

A cowbird places an egg in the nest of an unsuspecting robin. The robin sits on the egg as if it were her own. Later, she takes care of the baby cowbird, and in the process, she is giving it some of the food that she captured for her own babies. The relationship between cowbirds and robins can best be described as _________.
- Mutualism
- Parasitism
- Commensalism
- Predation
Correct Answer

A. Parasitism

Explanation

The relationship between cowbirds and robins can best be described as parasitism. This is because the cowbird benefits from having its egg cared for and fed by the robin, while the robin is harmed by having to take care of a baby that is not its own and potentially having its own babies suffer due to competition for food.
