Symbiotic Relationship

Predator

An animal that naturally preys on others

Example of Commensalism

Ramona & sharks Barnacles & whale Insects & human

Predation

The praying of one animal on others (hunted)

host

a host is an organism that harbors a parasite, or a mutual or commensal symbiont, typically providing nourishment and shelter. In botany, a host plant is one that supplies food resources and substrate for certain insects or other fauna.

Prey

an animal that is hunted and killed by another for food

commensalism

an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm

Parasite

an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

parasitism

is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

Parasitism

is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. Traditionally parasite (in biological usage) referred primarily to organisms visible to the naked eye, or Macroparasites (such as Helminths).

example of Mutualism

is a type of symbiosis where both species benefit from the interaction. An example of mutualism is the relationship between bullhorn acacia trees and certain species of ants. The acacia provides food and shelter for the ants and the ants protect the tree.

example of Predation

is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.

examples of parasitism

relationship is one in which one organism, the parasite, lives off of another organism, the host, harming it and possibly causing death. The parasite lives on or in the body of the host. A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles.

Mutualism

symbiosis that is beneficial to both organisms involved
