  5. Three major types of interactions • competition • predation • symbiosis.

  6. How does competition relate to ecosystems?

  7. Competition is the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources.

  8. Explain how predator-prey relationships affect populations in an ecosystem.

  9. Prey Predator Predation is an interaction in which one organism kills and eats another organism.

  10. Predators have adaptations that help them catch and kill their prey.

  11. Prey organisms have adaptations that help them avoid being caught and eaten.

  12. Predation can have a major effect on the size of a population.

  13. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species that benefits at least one of the species.

  14. Mutualism : both species benefit.
