SYMBIOSIS
Two species living together in close

3 TYPES OF SYMBIOSIS
1. PARISITISM
2. COMMENSALISM
3. MUTUALISM
PARISITISM
A symbiotic relationship where the
organism lives in or on their host and
does harm to their general well being,
sometimes parasites are fatal.
The parasite benefits, the host does
not.
ONE EXAMPLE OF PARISITISM
Ticks on a deer.
LEECHES
COMMENSALISM

species benefits, the other is not
affected positively or negatively.

tree
Certain species of millipede and silverfish inhabit the
nests of army ants and live by scavenging on the refuse
of their hosts, but without affecting the ants.
MUTUALISM
