Mutualism

There are three main types of symbiotic relationships; mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism is when both of the organisms involved are benefitted by the relationship. Commensalism is when one organism is is benefitted and the other is not affected. Parasitism is when one organism benefits from the relationship, and the other is harmed. Parasites are usually smaller than their hosts, and they harm the host, but do not kill the host. Grizzly bears are affected by all of these different types of relationships. They are in a mutual relationship with berry bushes. The bears use the berry bushes as a source of food, and when the bear excretes, the seeds of the bushes are spread, helping the bush reproduce. Another example of mutualism is between the bears and the entire environment. Bears eat salmon, but over half of the salmon that bears catch end up on the forest floor, and the nutrients from those fish are absorbed by the trees and other plants in the forests. Because of this, scientists are also able to track salmon runs based on the rings of the trees because the rings are thicker when they have a large supply of nutrients from…

reproduction.Another aspect is the change in climate and the trophic level. The reason it would change if the trophic level changes that means the american kestrel would move on the trophic level.

Symbiosis is the interaction between two different organisms in an environment and the effect they may have on each other, if any. When observed in nature, these encounters can illustrate the complex relationship among organisms and how their survival is directly affected. Neutralism, for instance, is a relationship in which neither of the interacting symbionts benefit nor suffer. Mutualism, on the other hand, is a relationship in which both symbionts are physiologically dependent on one another…

(1 point) The relationship of the organisms plays a major role in the difference between mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism is when both species benefit in the relationship. Parasitism is when an organism lives as a parasite on another parasite. Commensalism is when one organism benefits whereas the other one…

Symbiosis or a symbiotic relationship is a close a relationship/interaction between two organisms of different species. The three main types of symbiosis are mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. Mutualism is the symbiotic relationship where both the species benefits from the other. For example, clownfish live in sea anemones and because of this the clownfish eventually become immune to the paralyzing sting of the sea anemone. The sea anemone gives the clownfish a home and protects the…

Mutualism is also a value, attitude and behavior cultivated within the Native American culture. Mutualism evokes a sense of belonging and solidarity with group members that support the development of consensus and relationship building. In education there is a tendency to stress completion and work for personal gain over cooperation. Grades, achievement scores and honors are perfect examples of this mindset in education.
