Symbiotic relationships

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-24] [Hit: ]
Bromeliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the bromeliad, but the bromeliad is unaffected.Strangler fig grows on the branches of a tree and then the strangler fig eventually sprouts aerial roots. Over time, many roots may grow and then will wrap around the tree resulting in death of the tree.-what do you mean?......

Mutualism is when both parties benefit from their relationship
Commensalism is when only of the two parties benefit from their relationship
Parasitism is when one party gains benefit but the other is harmed

Example of Mutualism in rainforest:

Leaf cutter ants live underground in the rainforest and have a mutualistic relationship with a fungus there. The ants cut the chunkc of leaves from trees even though they cannot actually digest the plant matter. They bring this plant matter back to the nest and cultivate a fungus. The fungus is fed by the plant matter from the ants, and in turn it provides food for the ants.

Example of Commensalism in rainforest:

Bromeliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the bromeliad, but the bromeliad is unaffected.

Example of Parasitism in rainforest:

Strangler fig grows on the branches of a tree and then the strangler fig eventually sprouts aerial roots. Over time, many roots may grow and then will wrap around the tree resulting in death of the tree.
