Question

complete the table to describe the interactions.
interaction effect on species 1 effect on species 2
mutualism
commensalism positive
parasitism positive
predation negative
competition negative
herbivory negative

Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. Commensalism is when one species benefits and the other is unaffected. Parasitism is where one species (parasite) benefits and the other (host) is harmed. Predation is when one species (predator) hunts and harms the other (prey). Competition is a negative - negative interaction as both species are affected negatively while vying for resources. Herbivory is when an organism (herbivore) feeds on plants (prey), harming the plant.

Answer:

Interaction	Effect on Species 1	Effect on Species 2
commensalism	positive	neutral
parasitism	positive	negative
predation	positive	negative
competition	negative	negative
herbivory	positive	negative
