Ants live on acacia trees in south america. the ants feed on sugars secreted by the trees. the trees provide room for the ants to live. the ants sting any other insect or animal that comes to eat the trees. what type of relationship is this?

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
