Question

predation is also a relationship in which one species benefits and the other is harmed. parasitism is different from predation because a para - site does not immediately kill its host. some parasites may lead to the death of the host after days or even years. other parasites, like fleas or lice, harm the host but do not necessarily kill it. which type of symbiosis benefits one organism and harms the other? 14.2 vocabulary check competition predation symbiosis mutualism commensalism parasitism mark it up go back and highlight each sentence that has a vocabulary word in bold. fill in the blanks with the correct term from the list above. 1. what are three types of symbiosis? 2. what type of interaction occurs between organisms fighting for the same resources? 3. what type of interaction occurs when one organism captures and feeds on another organism? 14.2 the big picture 4. your body is currently involved in many different symbiotic relation - ships. for example, microscopic organisms called mites live at the base of each of your eyelashes. the mites benefit from the relationship by eating dead skin cells and oils released by your skin. you are not harmed, nor does this benefit you. what type of symbiosis is this? 5. with both predation and parasitism, one organism benefits and the other is harmed. what is the main difference between parasitism and predation?

Explanation:

1. Three types of symbiosis are mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism as defined in ecological relationships.
2. Competition is the interaction where organisms fight for the same resources.
3. Predation is when one organism captures and feeds on another.
4. Since mites benefit from living on eyelashes without harming or benefiting the human host, it is commensalism.
5. In predation, the predator usually kills the prey immediately for food. In parasitism, the parasite lives on or in the host over time and does not necessarily kill it quickly.

Answer:

1. Mutualism, Commensalism, Parasitism
2. Competition
3. Predation
4. Commensalism
5. In predation, the prey is usually killed immediately; in parasitism, the host is not necessarily killed quickly.
