SYMBIOSIS is the interaction between 2 different organisms where at least one benefits HOST- usually the LARGER of the 2 organisms SYMBIONT- usually the SMALLER member

THE THREE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE... PARASITISMMUTUALISMCOMMENSALISM EXTRA PRACTICE ACTIVITY GO BACK TO SPECIFIC QUESTION Click on a Picture Below to Learn About the Relationship EXIT

Slide 5

PARASITISM Is a relationship where the Symbiont lives in/on the Host The Symbiont (or Parasite) BENEFITS The Host is HARMED For example, the tick in the picture above is a parasite. It benefits by extracting blood from its human host. The human is harmed. EXIT

Slide 6

Is a relationship between the host and a symbiont, where both organisms benefit and neither is harmed. The relationship can be long or short term. For example, in the photo above, the host flower benefits by being pollinated by the traveling butterfly. The symbiont butterfly benefits from the nectar that it extracts from the flower. Mutualism EXIT

Slide 8

COMMENSALISM Is a relationship between the host and symbiont, where the symbiont benefits and the host is neither helped nor harmed. The symbiont benefits by receiving transportation, housing, and/or nutrition. For example, in the photo above the symbiont barnacles receive transportation from the host whale. The host whale is neither helped nor harmed by the barnacles. EXIT

Clownfish are frequently found in the tentacles of sea anemones. Sea anemones capture their prey by paralyzing them with their tentacles. However, the clownfish produces a mucus that prevents the tentacles from harming it. By dwelling amongst the tentacles the clownfish receives a protected home. This relationship is an example of PARASITISMMUTUALISMCOMMENSALISM HELPEXIT

Lampreys are primitive fish with limited digestive systems. They attach to and feed on the body fluids of fish with more advanced digestive systems, often leading to the death of the host fish. This relationship is an example of EXIT PARASITISM MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM HELP
