Symbiotic Relationships

Not all relationships between organisms have to do with food. Lots of organisms live together and work together in many ways. This is called symbiotic relationships.
The first symbiotic relationship is mutualism. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit. The way I can remember the meaning of mutualism is mutual is like multiple and that means more than one, so that is how I remember that one.
The second one is commensalism. That is when one organism benefits and the other isn’t affected. An example would be an anemone and a clown fish the fish gets a home and the anemone isn’t affected.
The last one is parasitism symbiotic relationships. This one is when one organism benefits and the other one is harmed. An example is when a parasite latches onto a dog for nutrients from the dog.

These are the different symbiotic relationships and how they relate to each other.
