SYMBIOSIS:
Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which at least one species
benefits. For the other species, the relationship may be positive, negative, or neutral. There are
three basic types of symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
MUTUALISM
Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship where all species involved benefit from their
interactions. In other words, positive and positive.

COMMENSALISM
The shark and remora commensalism relationship is the remora is carried along the shark's
power. This allow remora to travel to different areas
without
having expend its own energy to swim, and also they get
a protection from sea predator. Then the shark is not
unaffected to the presence of remora.

PARASITISM
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship where are organism benefits from the association and
the other is harmed. The organism that benefits is called the parasite, and the organism that is
harmed is called the host.

In a parasitism relationship of tick and dog, the tick
gains a food source by drinking the dogs blood and
also the dog gets skin irritation. So the dog are
