  1. What it means: Two organisms that live together Temporarily or for a longer time At least one of the organisms benefits from the relationship symbiotic Relationships

  2. Symbiotic Relationships Commensalism- one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped Ex. orchids on a tree Epiphytes: A plant, such as a tropical orchid or a bromeliad, that grows on another plant upon which it depends for mechanical support but not for nutrients. Also called aerophyte, air plant.

  3. Symbiotic Relationships Parasitism- one species benefits (parasite) and the other is harmed (host) • Parasite-Host relationship

  4. Symbiotic Relationships Parasitism- parasite-host Ex. lampreys, leeches, fleas, ticks,tapeworm

  5. Symbiotic Relationships Mutualism- beneficial to both species Ex. cleaning birds and cleaner shrimp

  6. Explain how the cow and chicken exhibit commensalism in this cartoon.
