Interdependence Between the Species

Mutualism is when two organisms have a relationship in which both of them benefit.An example of mutualism is algae and the spider crab.Since spider crabs spend most of their time in shallow water they can be seen by predators.Algae will make the spider crabs back their home.Now with the algae on their back, the spider crab is able to disguise itself from predators.If the spider crab did not have the algae it would be eaten by predators,if the algae didn't have the spider crab it would not have a home.

Commensalism is when one species can benefit from a relationship and not hurt the other. There are four different main types; chemical, inquilinism, metabiosis and phoresy. Chemical commensalism is most often observed between bacteria. It involves the species of one bacteria feeding on the chemicals produced or the waste products of the other bacteria. Inquilinism involves one species using the body of another organism as a platform or living space while the host does not benefit or is harmed. Metabiosis occurs when one species unintentionally creates a home for another species through one of its normal life activities. A phoresy takes place when one organism attaches to another organism specifically for the purpose of gaining transportation. An example of commensalism (inquilinism) is barnacles and whales. Barnacles are non-moving and they rely on currents to bring them food. Some barnacles attach themselves to whales in order to help them live. They can benefit as they are then transported over the ocean which exposes them to more feeding oppurtunities. The whale neither benefits or is harmed by the barnacles.

The first fundamental idea is Assumption of Symbiosis is an idea, which deals with the relationship in which people have within their social surrounding. The main idea that comes with this idea is that most all of today’s population wants to seek out things, which are in there surrounding area. Almost all of us want to be apart of something which could range

There are three forms of symbiotic relationships namely mutualism, commensalism and parasitism. The partners in a symbiotic relationship may either benefit from, be unaffected by, or be harmed by the kind of relationship that exists between them, (Berg 2007). Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both the partners benefit from the relationship, (Berg 2007). Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship whereby one party benefits while the other party is neither harmed nor benefits, (Berg 2007). Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one party benefits while the other is harmed, (Berg 2007).

In this lab, we examined protist survival in different communities. An biological community is a community where two or more species coexist in

In all symbiotic relationships, one of the species involved in benefited. In Mutualism, both are benefited, in Parasitism one is harmed by the other’s gain, is commensalism one is not affected by the other’s gain. In a Cooperative relationship, both are working together to achieve a common goal. In Predation, one organism is preyed upon by another, who will most likely use the organism for food.

The only organism in the included area is the termite so that is the common name for the class reticulitermes.

Oyster reefs, giant populations of oysters, provide habitats for many other types of organisms such as worms, snails, sea squirts, sponges, small crabs, and fishes.

A mutualistic symbiotic relationship is where both partners benefit from each other. An excellent example would be an oxpecker and a rhino. As the rhino grazes in the field, many ticks and other insects fall upon the rhino. The oxpecker comes in and eats the ticks and other insects off the rhino. Both partners benefit in this situation because the rhino gets the ticks and insects off of it, the oxpecker gets its food from the rhino.

First things first, taxonomy is the identification, description and the naming or nomenclature of organisms. The two domains are Bacteria and Archaea. Archaea is most related animals and plants also metabolic pathways. Bacteria most related to human pathogens and soil or dirt. The Domains are put together by genetic characteristics. Where Archaea for the most part are primitive and are adapted for extreme habitats and modes for nutrition we can see some similarities, with bacteria that also can live in extreme environments like thermal vents. The two might be cut from the same cloth and both are needed for life on earth to happen the most looked at for us is bacterial because that is the most harmful to

    The change of the relationship from symbiotic to parasitic begins with Sula's return to the Bottoms, signaled by the immense number of robins that entered the town.  Just like Sula, the appearance of the robins came as a

They are heterotrophs and predators; they can be omnivores, herbivores, carnivores, or detritivores. Some species use suction feeding, in which they create negative pressure by expanding the orobranchial cavity and drawing in water and prey. Others are filter feeders or bottom feeders. Each species has a particular mouth shape or teeth for their diet.

Hi Veri! Your examples are great, especially the example you provided between the spider crab and the algae. Interesting how the algae offers its camouflage to the spider crab, showing a type of warning coloration. I also used the same example to show a commensal relationship, so I completely agree with you that commensalism is real. Great post overall!

It is also prey to other animals, such as horse conch, grouper, sea turtles, cobia,

For instance, some shrimp are cannibalistic (National Geographic). Some shrimp hunt and kill other shrimp, even members of their own species. Shrimp are also capable of symbiotic relationships (Omar Badr Films). One such relationship is the goby fish and the pistol shrimp (Omar Badr
