How might you model the relationship between a tomato plant and the hornworm caterpillar? Identify the components of the model including inputs and outputs

Parasitism.

Explanation:

The relationship between a tomato plant and the hornworm caterpillar is parasitism because parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism get benefits and the other get harmed. We know that hornworm caterpillar feed on leaves and destroy the tomato crop. So it gets nutrients from tomato plant and the tomato plant is negatively affected. The input of this system is the vegetative part of tomato plant while the output is the conversion of hornworm caterpillar into a moth.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
