COMPETITION
Competition takes place when
organisms compete for
limited resources like food,
space, shelter or territory, and
mates. Both organisms
involved are harmed or
affected negatively.
COMPETITION
Intraspecific
competition happens
between organisms of
the same species.
Interspecific
competition happens
between different
species.
Here’s another example:
BACK
MUTUALISM
It is a relationship in which
both species benefit. It is a
give and take relationship. It
plays an important role in the
growth, survival, and in
maintaining the balance of the
ecosystem.
Here’s another example:
BACK
COMMENSALISM
It is a relationship wherein
one organism is benefitted
while the other is unaffected
and unharmed. This
relationship usually exists
between a larger organism
and smaller one.
COMMENSALISM
BACK
PARASITISM
It is a positive-negative
relationship in which one
organism is benefitted while
