  5. Examples of Mutualism: • Bees and Flowers • Bees use the pollen and nectar to make honey • Flowers need the bees to help the plant reproduce. • They both benefit!

  6. Examples of Commensalism: • Clownfish and Sea Anemones • Clownfish live in anemones; this gives them protection • Clownfish have a protective coating on scales that prevent them from getting stung. • Sea anemones do not benefit.

  7. Examples of Parasitism: • Tapeworm in Human • Tapeworms live in the intestines of humans and consume materials the host (the human) need! • Tapeworm thrives, the human is harmed.

  8. Examples of Parasitism: • Tick on Dog • Ticks attach themselves on to the skin of a dog. The ticks suck the blood of the dog and can transfer diseases. • Tick thrives, the dog is harmed.
