Symbiotic Relationships

3 interesting facts:

1.) Mutualism is a form of a symbiotic relationship where both of the organisms benefit.

2.) Commensalism is a form of a symbiotic relationship where one of the organisms benefit and the other is unaffected.

3.) Parasitism is a form of a symbiotic relationship where one of the organisms benefit and the other is harmed.

2 pieces of information i learned from another source:

1.) Neutralism is a form of a symbiotic relationship where neither of the organisms benefits or are harmed from the relationship.

2.) Competition is a form of a symbiotic relationship where neither of the organisms benefits.

My opinion:

My opinion on symbiotic relationships is that they are very important to the environment.  Certain Symbiotic relationships keep the organisms living and feed.  For example, human and pet cat would be mutualism because the human gives the cat a home and food.  The cat gives the human a friend. Without all the symbiotic relationships many animals would starve and die.
