  2. Mutualism • Mutualism is when both organisms benefit from the relationship. • Ex: A rhino is not irritated because birds are eating fleas/bugs off of him and the birds get a free meal and a free transport ride.

  3. Parasitism • Parasitism occurs when one organism benefits from the relationship while the other organism is harmed. • Ex: Fleas on a dog

  4. Commensalism • Commensalism happens when one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not harmed. • Ex: Fish have a home in reefs and the reefs are not harmed.

  5. Scavenger • Scavenger is an organism that eats other dead organisms. • Ex: Vulture scavenging for dead food.

  6. Predator/Prey • Predator is when its hunting a prey. • Prey is when its hiding from the predator. • Ex: Lion is hunting the giraffe.

  7. Camouflage • Camouflage occurs when a predator is hiding to snatch up prey or when a prey is hiding from a predator. • Ex: A moth blending in with a tree.

  8. Decomposer • Decomposer occurs when an organism decomposes another organism. • Ex: Fungi eat dead matter.

  9. Competition • Competition happens when two organisms fight over the same resources. • Ex: Lion and cheetah fighting for food, ants fighting for a crumb, &

  10. Environments • Tundra • Forest • Rain Forest • Salt Water • Fresh Water • Desert

  11.

  15. Fresh Water • Mutualism – Algae and fungi work together to form communities called lichens. • Parasitism – Icthyophirius multifilis infect nearly all freshwater fish. • Commensalism – Pondweed provide protection and shelter to numerous species of fish. • Scavenger – Fish eat scraps of food in water. • Predator/Prey – Fish eat plankton. • Camouflage – A brown colored fish blending in with the murky water. • Competition – Two crawfish fighting over the same piece of dead fish.
