Slide 2

Warm Up 1.Can you think of examples of relationships where both people/ organisms benefit? 2.Can you think of examples of relationships where one organism benefits while the other is harmed?

Slide 3

Slide 4

Symbiotic Relationships An interaction between organisms where at least one organism benefits from the relationship.

Slide 5

Types of Symbiotic Relationships COMMENSALISM MUTUALISM PARASITISM

Slide 6

Good for you, good for me ! MUTUALISM Example: Clownfish and Anemone The anemone is poisonous, but the clownfish has a special coating. The anemone protects the clownfish and the clownfish cleans the anemone.

Slide 7

COMMENSALISM Good for you, doesnt bother me! Example: Remora and Shark A remora attaches to a sharks body. It travels with the shark and feeds on the sharks leftovers. This does not hurt OR help the shark.

Slide 8

Good for you, hurts me! Parasitism Example: Botfly and Host Bot flies lay their eggs in the skin of mammals. The larvae eat the hosts skin until they are ready to fly away.

Slide 9

A wasp stings a caterpillar and injects its eggs. The eggs hatch and devour the caterpillar from the inside. Eventually they emerge when they transition from larvae to adult. The wasps could not survive without caterpillars.

Slide 10

THE THREE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE... PARASITISMMUTUALISMCOMMENSALISM EXTRA PRACTICE ACTIVITY GO BACK TO SPECIFIC QUESTION Click on a Picture Below to Learn About the Relationship EXIT

Slide 11

PARASITISM Is a relationship where an organism LIVES IN OR ON its Host The Parasite BENEFITS The Host is HARMED For example, the tick in the picture above is a parasite. It benefits by extracting blood from its host. EXIT

Slide 12

Is a relationship between the host and an organism, where BOTH organisms benefit and NEITHER is harmed. For example, the host flower benefits by being pollinated by the butterfly. The butterfly benefits from the nectar that it gets from the flower. Mutualism EXIT

Slide 13

Slide 14

COMMENSALISM One organism benefits by receiving transportation, housing, and/or nutrition The host is not helped or harmed. For example, barnacles receive transportation from the host whale. The whale is not helped or harmed by the barnacles. EXIT

Slide 15

EXTRA PRACTICE ACTIVITY In the following activity, you will be given a picture scenario. Identify and select the symbiotic relationship (parasitism, mutualism, or commensalism) represented in the picture. EXIT

Slide 17

In this photo the cleaner fish receives nourishment by dining off of the parasites and remaining food debris in the eels mouth. Is this an example of PARASITISM MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM HELPEXIT

Slide 18

Thats CORRECT! Keep up the great work! EXIT

Slide 19

SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN EXIT SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN

Slide 20

Clownfish are frequently found in the tentacles of sea anemones. Sea anemones capture their prey by paralyzing them with their tentacles. However, the clownfish produces a mucus that prevents the tentacles from harming it. By dwelling amongst the tentacles the clownfish receives a protected home. This relationship is an example of PARASITISMMUTUALISMCOMMENSALISM HELPEXIT

Slide 21

SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN

Slide 22

Thats CORRECT! Keep up the great work! EXIT

Slide 23

The birds in the picture are munching on tiny parasitic insects located on the rhino. The relationship between the birds and the rhino is an example of EXIT PARASITISM MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM HELP

Slide 24

SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN EXIT

Slide 25

Thats CORRECT! Keep up the great work! EXIT

Slide 26

Lampreys are primitive fish with limited digestive systems. They attach to and feed on the body fluids of fish with more advanced digestive systems, often leading to the death of the host fish. This relationship is an example of EXIT PARASITISM MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM HELP

Slide 27

SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN EXIT

Slide 28

Thats CORRECT! Keep up the great work! EXIT

Slide 29

Orchids grow on the branches of high trees. These orchids get more water and sunlight than those on the ground. The tree is unaffected by the orchids presence. This relationship is an example of EXIT PARASITISM MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM HELP

Slide 30

SORRY MAN, TRY AGAIN EXIT

Slide 31

Thats CORRECT! Keep up the great work!

Slide 32

Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests. The hatched cowbird pushes the host eggs out of the nest and eat all the food the host parents bring. Parasitism

Slide 33

In this interaction, the flower becomes pollinated by the insect, while the bee receives food in the form of pollen and nectar MUTUALISM

Slide 34

The Tickbird feeds off the ticks and flies that live on the hide of the African Black Rhinoceros. This helps the Rhino stay healthy and clean. MUTUALISM

Slide 35

#1 The moss uses the water and nutrients on the tree to grow. The tree grows unaffected. COMMENSALISM

Slide 36

Hermit Crab and Snail A hermit crab lives in shells that are made and then abandoned by snails. This neither harms nor benefits the snail.

Slide 37

Mosquitoes suck the blood from humans for food. Humans receive a bite and their skin becomes inflamed. Parasitism

Slide 38

Curie

Slide 39

Clownfish live in a sea anemones tentacles. Clownfish clean the anemone. The tentacles also protect the Clownfish. MUTUALISM

Slide 40

Shitake Mushrooms (fungus) absorb sugars and starches made by the birch tree. The tree is unharmed. Commensalism

Slide 41

The horsehair worm starts life as an egg laid in a puddle. The puddle dries out and a grasshopper eats the egg. The egg hatches and burrows through the gut of the grasshopper into its body cavity. The worm feeds off the nutritious blood of the insect and grows until it reaches adulthood. Then it starts producing chemicals which take over the brain of the insect and causes the insect to find water. The grasshopper drowns and then worm then exits the grasshopper and lives in the puddle, mating and laying more eggs. The cycle is repeated. Parasitism

Slide 42

Algae grows on the Tree Sloths fur. These algae help to camouflage the sloth against the tree. Commensalism

Slide 43

The wasp stings and paralyzes the spider and lays an egg on it. The larvae will consume the still-living spider from the inside, killing the spider and allowing the wasp to grow. Parasitism

Slide 44

The moss uses the water and nutrients on the tree to grow. The tree grows unaffected. Commensalism
