Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbiosis is some sort of biological relationship between two different biological organism in an ecosystem.

In symbiosis, the key word is BENEFITS.

Both organisms could benefit from themselves (Mutualism); or one organism could benefit at the expense of the other (Parasitic); or where one benefits from the other without harming it (Commensalism)

TYPES OF SYMBIOSIS

Symbiotic relationship can be of the follow forms:

1. MUTUALISM

2. PARASITISM

3. COMMENSALISM

In MUTUALISM both of the symbiotc species highly benefits from the relation. It is a 'win win' thing.

Example: Ants and Anphids; Sharks and Remora fish

PARASITISM : In this kind of relation one biological organism benefits at the expense of the other.

Examples: Mosquitoes, Ticks;

COMMENSALISM: in this type of relationship, members of a particular specie benefits highly from the other specie without harming it.

Examples: Tree frog uses plant as protein; Shark and remora fish
