Plants and animals need other organisms

Symbiotic is any close interaction


between two different species living
in the same environment that lasts
over time. There are three types of
symbiotic relationships, mutualism,
commensalism, and predation.
Mutualism
Commensalism occurs when one
organism benefits without affecting
the other. This kind of interaction is
typical among farmers. They benefit
from domesticated animals as they
milk the cows and collect the eggs of
hens without harming them.
Parasitism is a relationship where one
organism benefits while the other is
harmed.
Herbivory is an interaction in
which an animal
feeds on plant.
Different interactions
1. Mutualism is a relationship where two or more organisms are
benefited.
2.Commensalism is a relationship where one is benefited but the giver
is not affected or harmed.
3. Herbivory is the interaction in which an animal feeds on a plant.
4. Competition happens between and among organisms that have the
same needs and seek limited resources.
5. Parasitism is a relationship in which one organism depends on the
host for food.
6. Predation is an interaction where the predator hunts, kills and eats
another animal called prey.
