7.3.2 Relationships Between Organisms

Organisms have adapted to live together in various ways. In a predator/prey relationship, one species eats another species. In competition, two species fight for the same resources. In mutualism, both species help each other out and both benefit. In parasitism, one species harms the host species. And in commensalism, one species benefits, while the other species doesn't care.

7.3.2 WebQuest For each of the pairs of organisms, determine if they are examples of a)predator/prey, b)mutualism, c)parasitism, d)commensalism, or e)competition. Support with a description of which organisms benefit and which organisms get hurt.

Lastly, research a symbiotic relationship that involves your endangered species. Include this research in your slideshow presentation.
