BeauExamples of mutualism include the relationship between bees and flowers, where bees pollinate flowers in exchange for nectar and pollen, and the partnership between humans and gut bacteria, where bacteria help digest food and humans provide a habitat. Another example is the relationship between clownfish and sea anemones, where clownfish are protected by the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone and in turn eliminate parasites and provide nutrients.
