Commensalism

What is an ecosystem? I claim that an ecosystem has lots of abiotic and biotic factors that interact. My biome is the Taiga. One place the Taiga can be found is Oslo,Norway. Some abiotic factors in the Taiga are rain, sunlight, soil, temperature, and wind. Some biotic factors are moose, black bears, wolves, moss, and pine trees. Those abiotic and biotic factors interact a lot. There are four levels of organization. They are species, population, community, and ecosystem. An ecosystem is all the

Yao Dai Mr. Newman Period 7 5 Feb 2015 Ecology Section Final Draft Ecological niche The Giant Pacific Octopuses are found though out the Pacific Ocean. It’s found north in Alaska, South in Mexico, west in Japan and East in California. So they really can tolerate all kinds of water temperature. It is more likely to find it in tidal pools and they live in the water depth from 110 meters down to 1500m. (Schwab, 1987) They eat fish, lobster, shellfish etc. They crack them open by their mouth. The way

sweet nectar that feeds the resident ants. In return, the ants benefit the acacia tree by attacking any insects that attempt to eat the tree. Commensalism refers to a relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is not significantly affected. The relationship between cattle and birds called cattle egrets is a good example of commensalism. As cattle graze in grasslands, they disturb many insects that hide among the grasses. Egrets follow the cattle and eat the insects that are

The Scaled Quail By Rebecca Robertson 3/2/17 Appearance: This bird has a striking appearance of a series of round feathers that adorn the bird’s body, giving it the illusion of having scales. Their legs are built to run and evade predators, as the grasslands themselves are open with not a lot of trees or logs to hide. Their wingspan averages 14-15 inches. Classified Name: Callipepla squamata

zooxanthellae are algae, and therefore perform photosynthesis. They then construct carbohydrates using the suns energy in which they feed to the coral. The coral then use the carbohydrates to grow and build other extensions. This is a relationship of commensalism as the coral receives the benefits and the zooxanthellae are not harmed (Bedard,

in which both organisms must rely on one another to survive. A Facultative relationship is when organisms live together by choice. There are many forms of symbiotic relationships, but the most common and relevant to this argument are mutualism, commensalism,

both help each other. Algae can photosynthesise and make food, which is shared by the fungus. The fungus in turn shelters the algae from a harsh climate. 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

Without symbiosis, the delicately evolved modern ecosystem would not exist as almost every organism relies on another organism (Douglas,2010). This development of the ecosystem has resulted in the three separate types of symbiosis; Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism (Sapp, 2004; Reece et al, 2014). Mutualistic symbiosis, or mutualism, is an interspecific interaction between two species (with little to no genetic similarities) that benefits both organisms. Comm.ensalism is the interaction between

Why We deserve an A I put a lot of work on the 7th Grade Footprints project. I spent four class periods ( 4 hours) completing my part of the project while my partners completed their portion. My partners worked on the math, science, and social studies, however, I completed the English language arts and reading for the power point. I decided on the power-point that I would show the upcoming 7th graders literary elements for English and grammatical constructions for reading. The two types of literary
