Relationships Among

Organisms
By: Brynn Morgan
 Commensalism

In biology, a relation between individuals of

two species in which one species obtains
food or other benefits from the other without
either harming or benefiting the latter
Commensalism

In this case the two

bees are feeding off
the flowers pollen.
The flower is not
harmed nor being
effected.
Commensalism

Here the clown fish

benefits from living in
the sea anemone.
The sea anemone is
not affected by this.
Commensalism

The birds following

the elephant are
benefiting as they
feed off its poo. The
elephant is just doing
his business with no
harm.
Commensalism

The fish shown are

feeding off of the
algae and
phytoplankton on the
shark. The fish
benefit without
harming the shark.
Commensalism

As barnacles are
feeding off the algae
and particles off of
the whale, the whale
isn't effected.
 Mutualism

A mutualistic relationship is when two

organisms of different species "work
together," each benefiting from the
relationship.
Mutualism

The oxpecker is
feeding off of the
ticks on the antelope
and the antelope
benefits from getting
rid of the ticks. Both
organism are
benefited.
Mutualism

Both organism
benefit off of each
other as they feed
one another.
Mutualism

The fungus befits

from the tree routes
nutrients. While the
tree routes feed off of
the fungis nutrients
as well.
Mutualism

The crocodile is
benefiting by getting
his teeth cleaned as
the bird benefits by
feeding off of the
stuff in the crocks
teeth.
Mutualism

In the picture the

ants feed off of the
bugs on the plant.
And the plant befits
from getting the bugs
cleaned off by the
ants. Both benefit in
this situation.
 Parasitism

Parasitism,relationship between two species

of plants or animals in which one benefits at
the expense of the other, sometimes without
killing it.
Parasitism

The tick benefits and

feeds off the dogs
blood. The dog
suffers when the tick
spreads disease
through it.
Parasitism

The caterpillar suffers

as the Ceratomian
catalpae feeds off of
it.
Parasitism

Parasites are severely

harming this man as
they feed off the
tissue in his legs and
inject dangerous
viruses in him. Only
the parasites benefit
here.
Parasitism

The caterpillar feeds

off of the leaves
nutrients. The leaves
are harmed and will
die from this.
Parasitism

The leech feeds off of

the human flesh and
blood. The human
suffers greatly from
this if not found
quickly.
