mutualism example – bacteria and humans: a certain type of bacteria lives in human intestines. The human is unable to digest all of the food it eats, so the bacteria eat the food the human cannot digest and partially digest it, which allows the human to finish the job. The bacteria benefit by getting food, and the human benefits by being able to digest the food it eats.
This picture exemplifies mutualism because the mutualistic relationship between bacteria and humans as described above occurs in the stomach (specifically the intestines).
