Symbiotic Relationship


Symbiotic Relationship 

There are a total of three symbiotic relationships. They are parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. An example would be fleas on a dog. Another example would be a tick on a human. Commensalism is when one organism benefits while the other is not affected. An example would be a bird on a cow's back eating all the bugs. One other example is fish feeding off a whale. The last symbiotic relationship is mutualism. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit. A example of mutualism is a bacteria in a human. The human can not digest all of the food it eats. The bacteria gets food, while the human is able to digest the food.
