What are the 3 kinds of symboitic relationship?

The 3 types of symbiotic relationships (symbiosis) are: parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. In parasitism, the organism known as the parasite impacts the life of the host dramatically, negatively damaging it as he benefits. In mutualism, both organisms living together benefit from the other in a cooperative relationship. In commensalism, the commensal benefits as the host is unaffected.


What are three types of symboisis?

The three main types of symbiosis are mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. In mutualism, both species benefit from the relationship, such as bees pollinating flowers while obtaining nectar. Commensalism involves one species benefiting while the other is neither helped nor harmed, like barnacles attaching to a whale. Parasitism occurs when one organism benefits at the expense of the other, such as a tick feeding on a host.


Is a moth a example of commensalism?

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. For the most part, moths have a mutualistic relationship with their environment. An example would be moths laying their eggs inside of a flower - the flower has a chance to spread its pollen to other flowers and reproduce in that way, and the moth gets to lay its eggs. This is, however, on a case by case scenario, and the yucca baccata (a type of plant also known as the Spanish Dagger) "cheats" and allows the yucca moth larvae to die after pollination.
