 Ecological Relationships
1. Mutualism – both organisms benefit from
each other.
 Ecological Relationships
2. Commensalism – one organism benefits while
the other is neither benefited nor harmed.
 Ecological Relationships
3. Parasitism – one organism benefits while the
other is harmed.
 Ecological Relationships
4. Predation – one organism benefits by killing the
other organism.
 Ecological Relationships
5. Competition – species have the same niches and
the resources needed by both species are in limited
supply, so the population compete with each other.

Analyzing Scenarios: EXPLAIN
A type of bacteria
lives in the roots of
plants. The bacteria
helps the plants obtain
nutrients. The roots are
a moist home, which
helps the bacteria grow
and reproduce.
Analyzing Scenarios: EXPLAIN
The fungus known as
"chicken of the woods"
grows on trees. The fungus
breaks down the tree and gets
its nutrients that way. The
tree decays, gets weak, and
becomes very vulnerable to
extreme weather.
Analyzing Scenarios: EXPLAIN
A fox is carrying a dead
squirrel as a hawk swoops
down to grab it. They both
pull on the squirrel but the
flapping wings of the hawk
against the face of the fox are
strong enough to make the
fox drop the squirrel.
