What does it mean when two organisms have a symbiotic relationship?

A symbiotic relationship is when two or more organisms that live together interact, and one or more of them benefits. A mutualistic relationship is when both organisms benefit, for example, a bee pollinating a flower (bee gets nectar, flower gets pollen). A commensalism relationship is when one of the organisms benefits, but the other organism does not get helped or harmed. An example of this is a bird nesting in a tree. The bird gets a home and shelter, but the tree gets nothing. A parasitic relationship is when one organism is harmed and the other organism benefits. A familiar example of parasitic relationships is ticks on any animal (including humans!). Ticks take other creature's blood, harming the creature it takes from, but the tick gets food and energy! Organism - any living thing, including plants and single-cell creatures.

How is symbiotic relationship different from predators prey relationship?

A symbiotic relationship involves 2 species livingtogether. Mutualism is when both benefit. Commensalism is when one benefits without harming the other. Parasitism is when one species benefits while harming--but not killing--the other. An example of parasitism would be a tick on a dog. If the dog died, it would stop pumping blood for the tick to consume. In predator-prey relationships, most often one party must die for the other to benefit.


What must be true about a type of algae growing on a sloth for the algae and the sloth to have a commensal relationship?

A commensal relationship requires that one organism benefits from the relationship without affecting the other organism. So, in order for that to be true, the algae would have to be neutral to the sloth... not harming it or aiding it (those relationships would be defined differently). It would have to not affect it at all.

What are types 0f relationship that exist among living things?

if youre referring to biology, some examples of symbionic relationships (or relationships between two living organisms) are parasitism, where one organism is benefiting while harming the other (like leeches). Theres also mutualism, where both organisms benefit, and then theres commensalism, where one organism benefits and the other stays neutral. hope that helps!
