  1. KEY CONCEPT Organisms interact as individuals and as populations.

  2. Competition and predation are two important ways inwhich organisms interact. • Competition occurs when two organisms fight for thesame limited resource. • Intraspecificcompetition • Interspecificcompetition

  3. Predation occurs when one organism captures and eats another.

  4. Mutualism: both organisms benefit • There are three major types of symbiotic relationships.

  5. Commensalism Human Our eyelashes are home to tiny mites that feast on oil secretions and dead skin. Without harming us, up to 20 mites may be living in one eyelash follicle. Ø Demodicids Eyelash mites find all they need to survive in the tiny follicles of eyelashes. Magnified here 225 times, these creatures measure 0.4 mm in length and can be seen only with a microscope. + Ø + Organism is not affected Organism benefits • There are three major types of symbiotic relationships. • Commensalism: one organism benefits, the other is unharmed

  6. Braconid wasp Braconid larvae feed on their host and release themselves shortly before reaching the pupae stage of development. 0 Parasitism + _ Hornworm caterpillar The host hornworm will eventually die as its organs are consumed by wasp larvae. _ Organism benefits Organism is harmed 0 • There are three major types of symbiotic relationships. • Parasitism: one organism benefits, the other is harmed

  7. There are three major types of symbiotic relationships. • Parasitism meet their needs as ectoparasites (such as leeches) and endoparasites (such as hookworms)

  8. Two robins eating worms is an example of • Mutualism • Commensalism • Competition • Parasitism

  9. Predation is best described as • One organism capturing and eating another • Two organisms competing for limited resources • An interaction in which two species benefit from one another • An interaction in which one species benefits and the other is not affected

  10. Aphids eat the sap from plants and excrete sticky waste that ants eat. The ants protects the aphids from predators. This type of interaction is called • Mutualism • Commensalism • Competition • Parasitism

  11. An oak tree provides a sparrow a place to build a nest. The nest neither benefits or harms the tree. What is the name for this type of relationship? • Mutualism • Commensalism • Competition • Parasitism

  12. One difference between parasitism and predation is that parasites • Do very little to harm their hosts • Keep their hosts alive for a period of time • Attack the host only from the inside • Are not very big
