What are the 4 types of relationships between organisms?
Students watch videos and discuss ecological relationships with a focus on observing symbiosis. Then they classify the ecological relationships they observe as mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
What are the 5 relationships between organisms?
There are five main symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, predation, parasitism, and competition.
What are three types of relationships between organisms?
The term "symbiosis" includes a broad range of species interactions but typically refers to three major types: mutualism, commensalism and parasitism. Mutualism is a symbiotic interaction where both or all individuals benefit from the relationship. Mutualism can be considered obligate or facultative.
What are some commensalism relationships?
Examples of Commensalism
Nurse plants are larger plants that offer protection to seedlings from the weather and herbivores, giving them an opportunity to grow. Tree frogs use plants as protection. Golden jackals, once they have been expelled from a pack, will trail a tiger to feed on the remains of its kills.
