  1. TAKS Obj.3: Bio 12b Symbiosis • Symbiosis: Organisms can have dependent relationships in ecosystems. • Mutualism (+,+)both or organisms benefit from the relationship. Remoras clean sharks. The remoras get food and protection. The sharks get clean.

  2. Commensalism (+,0)one organism benefits, the other is not effected. • EX. Spanish moss grows on trees receiving light and nutrients from the air. The tree is not helped or harmed. • Parasitism(+,-)one organism benefits, the other is harmed. The organism being harmed is called the host. Parasites may weaken, but usually don’t immediately kill their host. • EX.The tick receives food, the dog is bitten. Other Interactions(not symbiosis) Predation:When apredator(like a carnivore or omnivore) hunts another organism, called itsprey,for food.

  3. Remember, the ants get nutrition (food). The plants get protection. Each organism benefits… Mutualism (+,+) 1 According to the information in the box, which of these best describes the relationship between ant and acacia tree? A Parasitism B Predation C Commensalism D Mutualism In the jungles of Costa Rica, a certain species of ant live in a complex relationship with the acacia tree. The ants find shelter in the hollow thorns of the plant. They attack any animal that tries to feed on the tree. In return, the plant provides them with nutrition. READ! Search for clues in the question. Find the key sentence in the reading passage.

  4. 1. A hummingbird feeds on the nectar of flowering plants, while spreading the plant’s pollen to other flowers. 2. An cattle bird feeds on insects stirred up by the feet of the cows that they live with. 3. Mistletoe grows in an elm tree, absorbing nutrients meant for the branches. 4. A desert wasp shoots its eggs into the burrows of bees, where they hatch into larvae and feed on the bee’s eggs. Symbiosis Simulation Which form of sybiosis is shown in the following examples? Hold up the correct pair of cards Mutualism (+,+), Commensalism (+,0) or Parasitism (+,-) (+,+) (+,0) (+,-) (+,-)

  5. 5. Ecoli bacteria live in the large intestines of humans. They receive nutrients from food wastes and produce vitamin D which is absorbed by the host. 6. The stinging tentacles of the sea anemone protect pairs of clown fish. In return, the clown fish clean debris from the sea anemone. 8. Tapeworm eggs are passed by flea bites to the blood stream of dogs. After hatching, they absorb nutrients from the small intestine. Symbiosis Simulation (+,+) (+,+) 7. Strangler figs start when a bird or fruit bat drops a seed onto a live tree. Its roots grow quickly downward, choking the host tree and taking its nutrients, while its crown grows upwards, stealing sunlight. (+,-) (+,-)
