In order to figure out if a relationship between two organisms is symbiotic, we need to figure out if it falls into any of the following groups: parasitism, communalism, or mutualism. If it does it is a symbiosis. If it does not fall into each of these groups it could be many other relationships, for example, a predator-prey relationships.
A parasitic relationship, which you describe, is not symbiotic. A symbiotic relationship is one which is beneficial to both entities.
A.the living together of two organisms; the relationship between two interacting organisms or populations, commonly used to describe all relationships between two species.
A relationship where one organism is benefited and the other is harmed is calledPARASITISM
The relationship between the organisms in lichens is best described as mutualism. In this symbiotic partnership, fungi (usually ascomycetes) provide structure and protection, while photosynthetic partners, such as algae or cyanobacteria, contribute nutrients through photosynthesis. This collaboration allows lichens to thrive in various environments where neither organism could survive alone.
Bees and bears do share a symbiotic relations ship. Bees produce honey because of the pollen they collect. Bear apparently enjoy eating the honey, inducing the bees to make more honey for the hive.
commensalism?
The symbiotic relationship between a Rafflesia plant and vine is parasitism.The Rafflesia plant benefits, but the vine suffers and soon dies.
Grasshoppers and spiders do not typically have a symbiotic relationship; instead, it is often predatory. Spiders are predators that hunt and consume grasshoppers, which serve as a food source for them. While grasshoppers may benefit from living in areas with spiders by having fewer other pests, the primary interaction is one where the spider benefits at the expense of the grasshopper. Thus, their relationship is more accurately described as a predator-prey dynamic rather than a true symbiotic one.
Antibiotic (from antibiosis) is one word used to describe a relationship between organisms that is detrimental to one of them. There might be others. Ray
parasitism because the head lice is getting a place to they their nasty eggs and the human has to suffer..... only scrubs get lice
Trichonympha is a genus of protists that lives in the guts of termites, forming a mutualistic relationship with them. The protists possess enzymes that help break down cellulose from the wood and plant material that termites consume, aiding in their digestion. In return, Trichonympha benefits from a stable environment and a constant supply of nutrients provided by the termite host. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the survival of both organisms, enabling termites to thrive on a diet that would otherwise be indigestible.
That Nature could be explained through abstract reasoning and experimentation.
