2. 5 different kinds of symbiotic relationships
between organisms
◦ Mutualism
◦ Commensalism
◦ Parasitism/Predation
◦ Competition
◦ Neutralism
3. The relationship between two different
species of organisms that benefit from each
other.
◦ Ex. Anemone fish and sea anemones.
Sea anemones hides and protects the fish from
predators with its stinging tentacles.
Anemone fish defend sea anemones from predators
such as the butterflyfish.
4. One species benefits while the other species
is unaffected.
◦ Ex. A bird living in a tree
The bird benefits by having a home.
Tree has no benefit.
5. One species of organisms benefits while the
other is harmed.
◦ Tapeworm inside of a human.
Tapeworm benefits by receiving nutrients from the
host human.
Human is harmed in the process.
◦ Lion hunting a rabbit.
Lion benefits from eating the rabbit for nutrients.
Rabbit dies.
6. This relationship harms both species of
organisms. Organisms compete for the same
resources.
◦ Ex. An eagle and a hawk
Both species compete when hunting for prey.
7. When species are unaffected by their
relationship with one another.
◦ Ex. A tarantula and a cactus
Tarantula and cactus do not affect each other in any
way.
