  1. Interrelationships Working together to remove the bad guy

  2. Symbiosis • A close relationship between two different species Three kinds of symbiosis • Mutualism • Commensalism • Parasitism

  3. In each of these relationship organisms may provide different benefits. food protection cleaning transportation combination of above

  4. Mutualism • A close relationship where both organisms benefit Sharing each others food

  5. The clownfish is protected from predators by living in the sea anemone. It develops immunity by touching a few tentacles over time and creates a mucus covering and thereby is protected from that particular sea anemone’s stinging cells. The sea anemone gets food by having the clownfish attract predators. The clownfish also removes parasites and keeps water circulating near the sea anemone. Mutualism Sea Anemone & Clownfish

  6. Mutualism - Remora & Shark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nurse_shark_with_remoras.jpg

  7. Commensalism • A close relationship where one organism benefits and the other remains unharmed (does not benefit). Inviting a hungry guest to share your food
