Not really, only if you make it harmful
.
No, not all symbiotic relationships involve harm. In mutualistic relationships, both species benefit from each other, while in commensalistic relationships, one species benefits without causing harm to the other. Harmful interactions can occur in some cases, such as in parasitic relationships where one species benefits at the expense of the other.

In the natural world, mutualistic relationships are a type of symbiotic relationship where both species involved benefit from the interaction. Symbiotic relationships, on the other hand, refer to any close and long-term interaction between two different species, which can be mutualistic, parasitic, or commensalistic.
No, microorganisms that cause disease and infection in plants and animals are not mutualistic. They are typically considered pathogens, which are organisms that harm their hosts. Mutualistic relationships involve both organisms benefiting from the interaction.
Symbiotic parasitic or mutualistic
Mutualistic fungi form mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms, providing nutrients or other benefits in exchange for resources. While some fungi are decomposers, not all mutualistic fungi perform this role. Mutualistic fungi can be involved in functions such as plant nutrient uptake, protecting plants against pathogens, or helping insects digest their food.
Coevolve in response to each other's ecological interactions. This can include mutualistic, competitive, or antagonistic relationships that drive evolutionary changes in both species. Examples include predator-prey relationships, mutualistic symbiosis, and host-parasite interactions.
No they have bald heads so they have all the best friends
Symbiosis is a close and long-term interaction between two different species. It can be mutualistic (beneficial to both species), commensalistic (beneficial to one species, neutral to the other), or parasitic (beneficial to one species, harmful to the other). Symbiotic relationships can involve various forms of interaction, such as mutualistic co-dependence or one organism living on or inside another organism.
1. mycorrhizae-occurs on the roots of almost all vascular plants 2. lichens- forms from those of their symbionts.
Ligers, being hybrids of lions and tigers, do not have well-documented mutualistic relationships in the wild, as they are typically found in captivity. However, in a broader ecological context, if ligers were to exist in the wild, they could potentially benefit from mutualistic relationships with species like cleaner birds that remove parasites from their fur, promoting health. Additionally, they might engage in mutualism with larger herbivores, where their presence helps control herbivore populations, indirectly benefiting plant communities by preventing overgrazing.
