Question 2: Symbiosis Symbiosis is another type of two-species interaction. It literally means living together, and refers to pairs of species that live in close physical proximity with the other species for a major part of their life cycles. Some examples of symbiosis: You and the microorganisms that live in your intestines; bark beetles burrowing in pine tree trunks; Monarch butterfly caterpillars and milkweed plants; and algae living in coral tissues. Can you think of any symbiotic interactions that are commensal or parasitic

Answer:

Commensal= mites and larger insecta who fly. Hermit crabs and shells of other organisms. Remora fish and whales. tree frogs and plants.

Parasitic= tick and dogs, tapeworm in humans, Barnacles and whales

Step-by-step explanation:

Commensalism is when one species benefits and the other is neither helped or harmed. Parasitism is when one benefits and the other is harmed.
