Organisms that live together have the following types of (symbiotic) relationships:

  • Commensal: One organism benefits while the other is unaffected. Algae grows in the fur of tree sloths. It is difficult to prove that the host is not affected...In this example, the sloth may benefit from the camouflaging color or, it may be harmed by the extra weight that it has to carry around.
  • Parasitic: Host suffers to support the parasite. There are few examples of plants that are parasitic on animals.
  • Mutualistic: Both organisms benefit from the relationship. Algae lives in the tissue of coral polyps. The coral benefits from the food that the algae produce and the algae has a well-protected home.
