Symbiosis Is Everywhere


Three Interesting Facts:



  1. there are five types of symbiosis mutualism, commensalism, parasitism,competition , and neutralism




  2. there are all different kinds of names to categorize symbiosis (example: Nutritional Symbiosis, Shelter Symbiosis, Transport Symbiosis, etc.)


  3. competition means neither species benefits



In class we are learning about ecology, and symbiosis. My opinion is that ecology is important to learn about. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two organism in which one organism lives near, on, or even inside another organism and in witch at least one organism benefits. I already know that there are three types of symbiosis; mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. What I didn't know was that there are two more types of symbiosis, competition , and neutralism. Neutralism means that both species are unaffected. I also didn't know that there are all different kinds of names to categorize symbiosis. To learn more about this you can visit this website:
