Some of the key takeaways from the document are the importance of maintaining safe hygiene practices during the pandemic and developing an understanding of different types of ecological relationships between organisms.

Some examples of ecological relationships discussed include predation between sea turtles and jellyfish, competition between different bird species for food, and mutualism between butterflies and flowers.

Organisms can interact through ecological relationships such as predation where one organism hunts and eats another, competition where organisms compete for limited resources, and mutualism where both organisms benefit from the relationship such as between flowers and pollinators.

PREDATION
Predation is when one
organism eats another
organism for food. One
organism is benefitted
while the other one is
killed and eaten by the
other organism.
PREDATION
An animal that kills
and eats other animals
is called a predator.

An animal that is killed


and eaten by its
predator is called a
prey.
Here’s another example:

Predation Sea Turtle Jellyfish The organism


being eaten
is harmed. It
will die.

BACK
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:

Ecological What organisms Describe the What is the type of


Relationship are involved? relationship. competition?

Competition • Birds • The birds • Intraspecific


• Two species compete for competition
of fishes food. • Interspecific
• The fishes competition

food.

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:

Mutualism Acacia plant and The plant provides


Ants shelter and food for the
plants. On the other
hand, the ants fight off
threats that might harm
the plant.

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

The organism which


gets the benefit is
called the commensal.

The organism used for


transport, shelter or
protection by the
commensal is the host.
Here’s another example:

Commensalism Remora fish Large sea The Remora


animals such fish attaches

sharks, and sea creatures

BACK
PARASITISM
It is a positive-negative
relationship in which one
organism is benefitted while
the other is affected and
harmed, but not always killed.
PARASITISM

The organism that


benefits is called the
parasite.

The organism that is


harmed is the host.
