common among the pictures. The first group to give the correct answer will get a point. 3 sets of pictures will be shown which will lead to the following concepts: living, interaction, and relationship. TRIAL: SUMMER LIVING RELATIONSHIP INTERACTION SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
SYMBIOSIS
comes from two Greek words that mean “with”
and “living.” It describes a close relationship between two organisms from different species. It is sometimes, but not always, beneficial to both parties. MUTUALISM o a type of relationship in which both organism benefit. COMMENSALISM o A type of relationship in which one organism benefit and the other is unaffected. PARASITISM o A type of relationship in which one organism is harmed and the other is benefit. USING THE SYMBOLS “+” FOR BENEFITED “-” FOR HARMED AND “O” FOR NEITHER BENEFITED NOR HARMED. MUTUALISM • Both organism benefit with each other • It benefit can be for food, shelter, and survival Using the symbols “+” benefited, “-” for harmed, “o” for neither benefited nor harmed. COMMENSALISM • One organism benefit • The other organism does not benefit, it is not also harmed Using the symbols “+” for benefited, “-” for harmed, and “o” for neither benefited nor harmed. PARASITISM • One organism benefit • The other organism is harmed. • ( + and -) • Parasite and host GENERALIZATION Symbiotic relationships refer to mutually beneficial interactions between different species. These interactions can be categorized into three main types: mutualism commensalism and parasitism. EVALUATE 1. What is symbiosis 2. How would you describe mutualism 3. When will the relationship between organisms be called commensalism. 4. How does parasitism differ from other types of symbiotic relationships? ASSIGNMENT: 1.In your respective homes, observe a pair of organisms that shows a certain symbiotic relationship and what will be the possible description on the interaction for our next activity.
