Symbiotic Relationships
A symbiotic relationship is what is referred to a relationship which two organisms from different species interact. An example of this would be say between a whale and the barnacles that live on the whales skin. The whale filter feeds which means it searches surrounding itself, while the barnacles get food in terms of what the whale emits it does not have to search for food. It is notated five different kinds of symbiotic relationships, Mutualism-both species benefit, Commensalism-one species benefits the other us unaffected, Parasitism-one species benefits while the other is harmed, Competition-neither species benefits, and Neutralism- both species are unaffected. Another easier example is a bee and a flower. A bee flies from flower to flower gathering nectar that they make food which benefits the bee. This also can be known as evolution.
