How do organisms interact with
each other and with their
environment?
 Living things or organisms interact
with other living things and with
non living things or the physical
environment. And there are several
ways of the interactions among
livings.
 Some are beneficial for one
organism but harms the other. And
some are beneficial for the two
organisms that are involved.

Types of Ecological Relationship:

1. Commensalism- Type of
relationship where one organism
benefits from the other which
neither benefits nor harmed
Examples of Commensalism

1. Epiphytic plants growing on a tree

*epiphytes- plants that needs other
plants/trees for support

2. Remora fish attached on bigger fish

like shark and whales
Group 2
 2. Mutualism- A type of
relationship where two species
benefit from each other
Other Examples of Mutualism
Lichen- combination of alga and fungus

African Crocodile and Plover

Group 3
 3. Parasitism- . A relationship
where an organism (parasite) gets
its nutrients from a living host that
was harmed by the interaction
Other examples of Parasitism

Lice on human head

Insect larva

Tapeworm- lives in the gastrointestinal

tract of some animals
Group 4
 Predation- An interaction
where an animal kills and eat the
other.
The most common type of
ecological relationship
*Predator- the animal that eats the
other animal
*Prey- the animal that was eaten
Other Examples of Predation
Group 5
Competition- A relationship that
occurs when two organisms
compete for the same resources
Other Examples of Competition
What are the different types of ecological
relationship?

another living thing in each of the
ecological relationship?

commonly see in your
environment? Can you cite
examples?
