Symbiotic Relationships4.2
Symbiotic RelationshipsSymbiosis- two species living closely together.
3 Types of symbiosis:
1. Commensalism
2. Parasitism
3. Mutualism
Mutualism
Both species benefit
Ex: Acacia Tree and Stinging Ants, Oxpecker and Rhino, Cleaner Fish, Anemone and Clownfish, Bacteria and Bovine Gut, Pollination
Acacia and Ants Anemone and Clownfish
Oxpecker/Rhino
CommensalismOne species benefits, the other is neither helped nor harmed
Ex: Sm. Pilot Fish and Shark, Barnacle and Whale, Remora and Turtle, Grouse and Antelope, Triggerfish and smaller fish, Orchids*
Epiphytes-An epiphyte is a plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object (such as a building or a telegraph wire), but derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, and sometimes from debris accumulating around it instead of the structure it is fastened to. -Referred to as an “air plant”
Parasitism
one species lives on or in another organism and harms it
Ex: Parasitic Fungi feeding on jungle insects, Tapeworm, Ringworm
Tapeworm (yuk!)
Parasitic Jungle Fungi
