of symbiosis; mutualism‚ parasitism‚ and commensalism. Mutualism is when both sides benefit from the symbiosis for example “The fungi penetrate the roots of the plants and make soil nutrients‚ such as nitrogen‚ available to the plants receiving carbohydrates in return” (Symbiosis 1). When one side benefits and the other side is harmed in the process of symbiosis it is called parasitism. For example parasites may feed off a plant but give it a disease at the same time. Commensalism is when one side

ways in which food chains can be interlinked to form a food web. If one member of the food web is affected‚ this will in turn affect other food chains in the web. Commensalism In ecology‚ commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits without affecting the other. It compares with mutualism‚ in which both organisms benefit‚ and parasitism‚ when one benefits while the other is harmed. Example: *Shark and Remora* The remora attaches itself to the

Ecological succession can change a community by making exponential changes to the ecosystem over time‚ symbiotic relationships are important in maintaining a stable ecosystem because they provide competition‚ parasitism‚ mutualism‚ and commensalism to have balanced populations‚ and the impact of a change in the food web would be drastic to the ecosystem because one change can and will alter the life of every animal in the ecosystem.

Section 1 1. Define mutualism and commensalism. Mutualism- Both are benefited Commensalism- One benefits the other doesn’t care. 2. Give examples of mutualism. Oxpeckers (a type of bird) and Zebras‚ the Oxpecker picks ticks and parasites off of the Zebra. The oxpecker gets food and the Zebra gets pest control. 3. Explain why most parasites do not kill their host. Why is it in their own best interest to keep their host alive? If a parasite kills its host the parasite will most likely die too Section

are three types of symbiotic relationships that include; commensalism‚ parasitism‚ and mutualism. Along with the symbiotic relationships there are also two types of competitions; interspecific and intraspecific competition. Competition is when two organisms fight for the same limited resources. Commensalism is when there are two different organisms and one organism gets benefits without harming the other. One example of commensalism is between a Florida red belly turtle and the American Alligator
