We have learned our science concepts and terminology in Chapter 1 including the following: characteristics of living things, abiotic, biotic, species, ecosystem, population, habitat, community, niche, predator, prey, producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, scavengers, decomposers, symbiosis, parasite, parasitism, host, mutualism, commensalism, and the food chain. You will be tested on these concepts on Monday. How will you prepare for this test? Decide on one strategy you will use. Bring your ideas and any helpful tools you have made tomorrow and I will give you class time to study. POST one example of each (mutualism, commensalism and parasitism) Read your classmates examples so you do not repeat examples. There are some fun songs that will help you with review. See below: Here is the link to the 'funny' review for the food chain.

I think the videos were very helpful. An example of mutualism is the bee and the flower. Bees fly from flower to flower gathering nectar, which they make into food, benefiting the bees. When they land in a flower, the bees get some pollen on their hairy bodies, and when they land in the next flower, some of the pollen from the first one rubs off, pollinating the plant. This benefits the plants. In this mutualistic relationship, the bees get to eat, and the flowering plants get to reproduce. An example of commensalism is a whale and barnacles, barnacles will attach to whales or mollusk shells in order to be where food is available. This also acts as transportation for them and safety. Lastly, an example of parasitism is tape worms and fluke. Bye see you guys tomorrow! (I know there is no math question)

Somewhat of a good day. Need to catch up on my goals and stop procastinating on my homework. Which is part of my personal goal?! Paratism is when in a symbiotic relationship, one partner benefits and the other is harmed. The partner that benefits is the parasite and the other is the host. Take this for an example. A tick on a cow. The tick (parasite) benefits by sucking the blood, while the cow (host) is harmed. Mutualism is when each partner benefits from the relationship. Like a bird comes and eats the tick, which also benefits the cow. The third Symbiosis relationship is Commensalism. Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is not harmed. Like Whale Barnacles and a Whale. The Whale Barnacles benefit because of transportation while the Whale is unharmed nor benefited. So, its quite cool how they thought of these names and defenitions. Relate of the day1: "My bed likes me so much, that it won't let me go in the morning." Reply 'TOTALLY' Relate of the day2: "Ordering off the kid's menu because there's no chicken nuggets on the adult menu." Reply 'UH-HUH' Well that about wraps it up. I hope you guys have a lovely night and I'll see ya'll tommorow. Byyee! TWIX OUT.

Example of mutualism is ants and aphids. The ants need the surge and honey left over from the aphids.Example of commensalism is barnacles and whales. Barnacles benefit by getting to other areas and the whale doesn't really care. Humans and mosquito. The mosquito benefit by getting blod and he are left itching.

Not too bad of a day! I mean tomorrow's Friday, who could complain? Alright fine let's get on with it! Mutualism: My example is an Oxpecker and a Zebra. Oxpeckers land on zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the beast gets pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning, which helps the symbiont (a name for the other partner in a relationship). Commenalism: Orchids growing on branches of trees. The orchid benefits because it has a place to grow and the tree has no effect on it! Parasitism: A tick and a dog for example. The tick (parasite) benefits because it sucks blood and the dog is harmed because ticks carry diseases and cause skin irritation. Too tired for a quote today, sorry guys! WOOP WOOP, TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!! Have a good night everyone!

Not too many comments. This is two days later after the original post. I think. My relationship: symbiosis. It's a biological relationship where neither species lose or gain benefits. And it lasts over time. Eg. A parent and a kid. Parent wants kid to be a slave, kid says no, nothing happens.

An example of a parasitism would be a leech it benefits from the blood it "leeches" from an animal (or human) and in turn harming that organism. An example of a mutualism would be the Egyptian plover and a crocodile, the Egyptian plover picks the crocodiles teeth benefiting it by getting food, and the crocodile benefits by having it's teeth cleaned. An example of a commensalism relationship would be the clownfish and anemone, the anemone protects the clownfish and the clownfish doesn't benefit or harm the anemone.

my example for Mutual ism is Sea anemones and clown fish - Clown fish are often found living among st the tentacles of the sea anemone. While those tentacles are able to sting nearly all other fish, the clown fish, thanks to the mucus on its skin, is protected from the stinging.

Mutualism: Crocodile and little birds that eat tiny living things out of crocodile's teeth. Neither is harmed and benefit one another.

Fact of the day: If a flamingo ate skittles they wold be rainbow! because what they eat determines their color.

You could search up these terms, understand what they mean, and then comment an example!

A Tapeworm is a parasite that goes and lives in animals intestines. Ugh imagine a weird worm thing that looks like tape living in your large intestine

Ok I couldn't do tapeworm but an example of commensalism is a bird and a tree. The bird gets a habitat but the tree gets no benefit or loss. Comments are closed.
