Mutualism of a Bengal Tiger- A very powerful antibiotic, Bacilli is a type of bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Specifically, Pantoea agglomerans of the bacilli family are helpful by producing a broad spectrum antibiotic andrimid. This kills many harmful bacteria that a tiger may ingest from its prey by blocking a critical step in fatty acid biosynthesis. This helps protect the tiger from such dangers like E. coli and samonella poisoning.
Parasitism-An example of parasitism is between Pearl fish and Sea Cucumber. The Pearl fish live in the Sea Cucumber's cloaca which they enter through the anus. The Pearl fish then breaks through the respiratory membrane and situates its home.
Commensalism- Commensalism is a situation in which two organisms are associated in a relationship in which one benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected much. The two animals are called commensals. This is one type of symbiosis. An example is bromeliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the bromeliad, but the bromeliad is unaffected.
Predator/ Prey- Predators also use camouflage so they can sneak up on their preThe Bengal tiger is a carnivore. It eats boars, wild oxen, monkeys, and other animals.

In the shark and trout predation, the shark benefits by feeding upon my focal species, therefore, this form of predation is parasitism. On the other side, the trout eats the ghost shrimp. Therefore, the trout benefits at the expense of the ghost shrimp. Thus, this relationship is parasitic as well.…

    A wide array of interactions among plants, animals, and microorganisms occurs in nature. Some of these relationships are characterized by a close physical association among species that continues for a large period of the life cycle. In 1879 German botanist Heinrich Anton de Bary coined the term "symbiosis" to describe these relationships, meaning the living together of different species of organisms. Many people associate symbiosis with mutualism, interactions that are beneficial to the growth, survival, and/or reproduction of both interacting species. But symbiotic interactions also include commensalism (one species receives benefit from the association and the other is unaffected), amensalism (one species is harmed, with no effect on the other), and parasitism. An example of commensalism is found in the anemone fish, which gains protection from living among the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemone, but offers no known benefit to its host.…

A savanna is one type of grassland biome. The temperatures of savannas differ according to its season. During the dry season the temperatures are either very hot or cold. In the wet season the temperature is usually warm. If the savanna biome were to receive a little less rain it would become a desert. If it got a little more it would become temperate grassland. Savannas are typically dry receiving less than 30 inches of rain on average in a year. As little as 4 inches of rain fall during the dry season. The dry climate mixed with intense heat will result in wildfires which are common in this biome.…
