Explain how this diagram represents the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
Identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in this food web?
Symbiosis commonly describes the close and often long-term relationships/interactions between different biological species
Types of Symbiotic Relationships Commensalism Mutalism Parasitism
These red-billed oxpeckers enjoy a symbiotic relationship with an impala in the African savanna. The oxpeckers feed off ticks that the impala are glad to be rid of.
Mutalism any relationship between individuals of different species where both individuals derive a benefit ,
An example would be a honey bee and a dandelion. The honey bee gets to eat the pollen from the flower. The dandelion uses the bee to spread its pollen to another flower. Coral reefs are the result of mutualisms between coral organisms and various types of algae that live inside them
goby fish lives together with shrimp The shrimp digs and cleans up a burrow in the sand in which both the shrimp and the goby fish live. The shrimp is almost blind leaving it vulnerable to predators when above ground. In case of danger the goby fish touches the shrimp with its tail to warn it. When that happens both the shrimp and goby fish quickly retract into the burrow
mutualism is between the tube worms and bacteria that live at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps The worm has no digestive tract and is solely reliant on their internal symbionts for nutrition. The bacteria oxidize either hydrogen sulfide or methane which the host supplies to them. These worms were discovered in the late 1980s at the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands and have since been found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in all of the world's oceans
Examples: a. Microorganisms that live in a cow’s intestines and help the cow digest cellulose b. Insects that feed on flowers and unknowingly pollinate the flowers c. Protozoa living in termite gut
Commensalism a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or helped. ,
Remora fish and sharks African Buffalo and Egrets
An example is the hermit crabs that use gastropod shells to protect their bodies. • A common example is an animal using a plant for shelter. An American Robin benefits by building its nest in a Red Maple tree. The tree is unaffected.
Parasitism A relationship is one in which one member of the association benefits while the other is harmed almost all free-living animals are host to one or more parasite ,
An example would be a deer tick and a White-tailed Deer. The tick gets food from the deer without killing it. The deer is harmed by losing blood to the tick, and possibly by getting an infected wound.
