2025 Searching for Symbiosis by Ms. Settles

Mutualism-Walden Thompson

2025-08-19 13:11:49 UTC

The bees get a food source from the flowers pollen and the flower gets to reproduce by way of the bee so they both benefit.

clown fish and sea anemone’s have a mutualistic relationship because the anemone’s provide protection and the clown fish give the sea anemone’s nutrients through their waste

2025-08-19 13:12:22 UTC

The sea anemone protects the clown fish. The clown fish keeps the sea anemone free of parasites and clean. Ean

Ophiocordycipitaceae

2025-08-19 13:13:29 UTC

This parasitic fungi attaches itself to an ant before I begins to slowly take over the functions of the living ant gaining control of its senses and nerves controlling to to bring it to more ants to further spread its spores and to become nutrition for the fungi attached to it-Noah

Commensalism (Christina Dinh)

2025-08-19 13:13:33 UTC

The Humpback whale isn't affected nor harmed by the barnacles but the barnacles are benefitting from the whale!!! That is commensalism ;3

Mutualism with the clown fish and the sea anemone. Clown fish use it to protect them from predators, they also clean the anemone from parasites.

David G Oxpeckers and large mammals

2025-08-19 13:14:00 UTC

Oxpeckers keep fleas and insects off of large animals, providing food to the Oxpeckers and safety from flea diseases or pain to the large mammals

commensalism Ruthie

the fish beside the shark follow it around and can eat the sharks leftovers therefore benefiting the fish and not effecting the shark

Commensalism- Birds and Trees

2025-08-19 13:14:31 UTC

A bird will use a tree to nest in. This is beneficial for the bird as it now has a shelter. While the bird benefits from this relationship the tree will not benefit from this relationship.

Mutualism - Luke Emmett

2025-08-19 13:14:31 UTC

Coyotes and Badgers hunting together. When Coyotes and Badgers hunt together they increase their likelihood of catching more prey and they also decrease likelihood of being killed by another predator. Therefore they are both safer and can catch more food.

Fleas on dogs - Veeraj Sharma -Parasitism

2025-08-19 13:14:52 UTC

Fleas on dogs is an example of parasitism because the fleas use the dogs for a place to live and feed. This results in the dog being vulnerable to tape worm infections and they scratch their skin. This leads to red bumps and hair loss.

Alligators and Birds (Mutual)

2025-08-19 13:14:52 UTC

The alligators will protect the birds nest while the bird provide a food source to the alligators

parasitism-john pham

2025-08-19 13:15:18 UTC

The tape work going into humans. They are going into the the host the human and feeding of them. They then lay their eggs and continue to grow on. Feeding of the human.

Mutualism- Pistol Shrimp and gobies

2025-08-19 13:15:47 UTC

The shrimp relay on the Gobies and there good eye sight for travel and the Gobies relay on the shrimp for there digging

mutualism in leafcutter ants and fungus Pablo Oviedo

2025-08-19 13:17:22 UTC

Leafcutter ants and Leucoagaricus gongylophorua: Leafcutter ants cut leaves and bring them to their nests, but they don’t eat the leaves. Instead, they feed them to a special fungus, which grows and becomes the ants’ primary food source. The fungus relies completely on the ants for survival, and the ants rely on the fungus for nutrition.

Lila Arbet

One example of Parasitism is Tapeworms and Bears. The Bears contract the tapeworms through the raw fish they eat, and the tapeworms live in their intestines while stealing energy from the Bear.

Mosquitoes and Humans : Hannah Varghese

2025-08-19 13:21:16 UTC

This is an example of parasitism because the mosquito feeds on the humans blood and the human gets harmed with an itchy bite.

Decorator Crab and Sponge

2025-08-19 13:57:20 UTC

Their relationship is symbiotic, the decorator crab uses the sponge to decorate its carapace which gives them perfect camouflage. In return sponges benefit by being transported to new areas with strong currents where they can access more food and grow.-Sydney K

Commensalism-Angela Zheng

2025-08-19 14:27:24 UTC

In this relationship, the birds benefit by finding a readily available food source (insects that are disturbed by the ants), while the ants are neither helped nor harmed by the bird’s presence.

Parasitism-Anthony Wibonele

2025-08-19 20:41:14 UTC

The relationship between mistletoe and a tree is an example of parasitism because the mistletoe takes water and nutrients away from the tree, which positively benefits the mistletoe by allowing it to survive and grow without producing its own food. However, it in turn harms the tree since it loses its key nutrients and valuable resources which weakens the entire tree.

Faiyaz Dewan

Certain species of small frogs live in tarantula burrows, feeding on ants or other insects that would otherwise eat spider eggs, and in exchange get protection from predators.

Parasitism

2025-08-20 05:01:44 UTC

This is a parasite called a tongue eating louse and it eats the fishes tongue. This is a parasitic relationship because the louse is benefiting while harming the fish. Amira Heban

Leeches (Nathaniel Tiruneh)

2025-08-20 23:33:00 UTC

Leeches and animals have a parasitic relationship because leeches take advantage of their target and feed off their nutrients while harming the host. Leeches are usually found in the water and latch onto any moving animal they can find (including humans.) They latch onto their skin and suck the blood out of them and the blood loss is only one harm to the animal. Leeches marks can cause inflammation, irritation, and even transmission of pathogens.

Commensalism-Ruth Melkie

Barnacles attach to the whale’s skin. They get a source of travel and food as the whale moves through water, while the whale is unaffected.

Mutualism- Nyla Powell

2025-08-21 12:30:14 UTC

Cleaner fish eats old skin cells off of the turtles back.

logan settles lice and humans

2025-08-21 12:30:27 UTC

This is parasitism. The lice live on humans and eat their blood as their food. It makes humans itchy and causes discomfort. Can sometimes also cause disease.

Mutualism- Kayla Hernandez

2025-08-21 12:57:19 UTC

Mycorrhizal fungi and tree roots. The fungi live in and around tree roots, helping the tree absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. In return, the tree provides sugars from photosynthesis (npp) to feed the fungi.

Matt D- Commensilism

2025-08-21 14:07:46 UTC

In this picture the commensilism is occurring. The barnacles on the back of the whale feed on plankton, benefitting from the food and the whales movement throughout the water. This is all occurring on the whale which is not benefiting nor is negatively impacted from this relationship leading to a neutral relationship for the whale.

Dodder - Rae M

2025-08-21 15:53:21 UTC

Dodder is a parasitic vine that wraps around it's host and grows its roots in the plant it's on.

Mutualism-Zikr Merchant

2025-08-29 02:32:53 UTC

This shows mutualism because the bee gets food from the flower while the flower gets pollinated.

The warthog allows the mongooses to climb on its body to pick off ticks, fleas, and other parasites, providing the mongooses with a meal

Suckerfish take the residue and dead material off the shark and get food in return.
