    Symbiosis: Plover Bird

    Uploaded by

    Skyber Teach
    This document discusses symbiosis, which is defined as two organisms living together. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, in which both organisms benefit; commensalism, in which one benefits and the other is unaffected; and parasitism, in which one benefits and the other is harmed. Examples of each type of relationship are provided, such as bees and flowers in mutualism, remora sharks and whales in commensalism, and fleas and dogs in parasitism.

    SYMBIOSIS

    Plover Bird
    Learning Objectives
    • What is symbiosis?
    • What are the different kinds
    of symbiosis?
    • Examples
    What is symbiosis?
    Literal definition:
    the act of living together
    What it means:
    •Two organisms that live together
    •Temporarily or for a longer time
    •At least one of the organisms
    benefits from the relationship
    What are the different kinds
    of symbiosis?

    Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism


    both one one
    organisms organism organism
    benefit benefits benefits
    one one
    organism is organism is
    unaffected harmed
    Mutualistic Relationship Examples
    • Bees and Flowers -
    the bees get to eat,
    and the flowering
    plants get to • the oxpecker (a kind of
    reproduce. bird) and the rhinoceros or
    zebra.
    • Oxpeckers land on rhinos
    or zebras and eat ticks and
    other parasites that live on
    their skin.
    • The oxpeckers get food
    and the beasts get pest
    control
    Commensalism Examples
    Whale and Barnacle
    • The whale reaps no rewards
    from a barnacle attaching to
    its body

    • The barnacles gain an


    abundant food source by
    attaching itself to a whale Remora sharks
    • Remora sharks have an adhesive disk on
    the dorsal surface of their heads.

    • They use this adhesive disk to “hitch a


    ride” on larger animals, usually whales

    • When food floats away from the whale’s


    mouth, the remora can unhitch itself and
    collect the scraps of food floating by.
    Parasitism Relationship Examples
    • Fleas harm their hosts, such
    as dogs, by biting their skin,
    sucking their blood, and
    causing them to itch.

    • The fleas, in turn, get food • A parasitic fungus causes wheat


    and a warm home rust and the downy mildew fungus
    attacks fruit and vegetables.

    • mosquito and humans


    Example 1:
    Acacia plant with ant galls
    Ants lay
    eggs on
    acacia tree
    Acacia
    covers the
    infected
    area with
    brown flesh Parasitism: one
    (gall)
    benefits, one is harmed
    Example 2:
    Moray Eel with
    Cleaner Fish
    Moray Eel gets a
    clean mouth
    Cleaner Fish gets
    a meal
    Mutualism: both
    benefit
    Example 3:
    Cattle with cattle egrets Cattle stir
    up insects
    as they eat
    grass
    Egrets
    hang
    around and
    eat insects
    Commensalism: one benefits,
    one is unaffected
    Example 4:
    Clown fish with anemone

    Clown fish
    gets
    protection
    Anemone is
    unaffected

    Commensalism: one benefits,


    Example 5:
    Antelope with Oxbird
    Antelope
    gets rid
    of
    parasites
    Oxbird
    gets a
    meal

    Mutualism: both benefit


    Example 6:
    Taenia worm in human eye
    Worm
    infects
    human
    blood
    stream
    Human
    may go
    blind Parasitism: one benefits,
    one is harmed
