Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers. As they pass from flower to flower, the hummingbirds carry pollen, aiding in pollination. What kind of relationship
exists between the hummingbirds and the flowering plants?
A. Commensalism
B. Predation
C. Mutualism
D. Parasitism

C. Mutualistic relationship

Flowers and hummingbirds have a mutualistic relationship where both benefit. Flowers produce food in the form of nectar (sugar and water) to attract hummingbirds which, in turn, move pollen for the plant (pollination).

The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts.
