Two organisms that illustrate mutualism in a tropical rainforest are the trap-jaw ant (Odontomachu sp.) and the Costusflower.

The flower provides food (nectar) for the ants to eat, the ants protect the flower from insects and other animals that might otherwise harm the flower.

What do parasitism mutualism and commensalism have in common?

Parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism are all types of symbiotic relationships where two different species interact with each other in a particular way. In parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other. In mutualism, both species benefit from the interaction. In commensalism, one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.


For each type of symbiotic realtionships explain how the two organisms are affected?

The four types of symbiotic relationships is mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and neutralism. In mutualism, both organisms benefit. In commensalism, one species benefits while they other is unaffected. Parasitism is where one species benefits and the other is harmed. In neutralism neither species is harmed or benefits.


How are mutualism and parasitism similar and different?

Predation and parasitism are similar because they both have one organism feeding on another. The difference is that in predation the organism kills the other ,while in parasitism, the organism feeds on it while letting it live. For example, a lion can't eat an antelope if it lets it live (predation), but a flea can't feed on a dog if the dog isn't alive (parasitism).


Is symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits but the other is harmed?

*parasitism is where one animal is helped while other is harmed* commensalism is where one is helped and other is not really affected mutualism is where both animals are helped


What are some types of biosis?

Some types of biosis include predation, competition, mutualism, and parasitism. Predation involves one organism consuming another for food, competition occurs when organisms compete for resources, mutualism is a mutually beneficial relationship between two organisms, and parasitism involves one organism benefiting at the expense of another.
