need each other. There are three types of symbiosis; mutualism‚ parasitism‚ and commensalism. Mutualism is when both sides benefit from the symbiosis for example “The fungi penetrate the roots of the plants and make soil nutrients‚ such as nitrogen‚ available to the plants receiving carbohydrates in return” (Symbiosis 1). When one side benefits and the other side is harmed in the process of symbiosis it is called parasitism. For example parasites may feed off a plant but give it a disease at

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 common and widespread symbiosis occurs between terrestrial

at the host’s expense. This relationship will always negatively impact the host and benefit the parasite‚ but the host is vital for the parasite to stay alive. An example of a parasitic relationship is when a tick latches onto a cat. This form of parasitism is external and the tick sucks on the cat‚ fostering due to the grace of the cat’s oblivion‚ and because of this exchange‚ the cat has a lowered blood supply in a specific area and the tick utilizes the nutrients from the cat to stay alive.

healthy mouth. In this case‚ the alligator’s mouth also serves as resource. Commensalism is when one species benefits and the other sees no effect. An example of this is fish picking up the left overs after a sharks meal‚ again serving as a resource. Parasitism is when one species benefits and the other is harmed. This is seen in harmful bacteria‚ such as the ones that cause West Nile‚ and in harmful worms such as tape worms. These are often the cause of mass deaths in a population and can also collapse

interactions include forms of parasitism‚ mutualism‚ and commensalism. The first topic of discussion in symbiosis is parasitism. Parasitism is when the relationship between two animal populations becomes intimate and the individuals of one population use the other population as a source of food and can be located in or on the host animal or animal of the other population(Boughey 1973). No known organism escapes being a victim of parasitism(Brum 1989). Parasitism is similar to preditation in

characters seem to be abnormal or atypical in nature‚ it is clear that their characteristics are not peculiar to them‚ but are communal to all mankind. Jonson satirically stages a downward spiral for several characters of Volpone‚ using themes of sin‚ parasitism‚ and deception in order to point out the destructive patterns that lead to the characters ’ descent. Sin‚ and even more particularly‚ the seven deadly sins are highly thematic to the character Volpone. Most people believe that they (the people)

mutualism‚ parasitism and commensalism. Give two named examples of each‚ one of which must be from the Caribbean‚ citing your sources. Symbiosis is an interaction between usually two organisms of differing species. Symbiosis can be broken down into various types (Taylor et al‚ 2010) but for this essay only mutualism‚ parasitism and commensalism will be reviewed. Mutualism is a relationship formed between two organisms of different species which proves to be beneficial to both. Parasitism is a relationship

organism benefits without affecting the other. It compares with mutualism‚ in which both organisms benefit‚ and parasitism‚ when one benefits while the other is harmed. Example: *Shark and Remora* The remora attaches itself to the shark and moves around with it. As the shark feeds‚ the remora obtains food while the shark is not harmed‚ nor does it benefit. Parasitism Parasitism is a non-mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism‚ the parasite‚ benefits
