defination of symbiotic relationship
Answers
Answer:
A symbiotic relationship is a mutually beneficially relationship between 2 or more organisms.
Explanation:
Symbiosis in lichens is the mutually helpful symbiotic relationship of green algae or blue-green algae (cynobacteria) living among filaments of a fungus, forming lichen.
Answer:
The close association between two or more different organisms of different species, often but not necessarily benefiting each member.
Explanation:
Two organisms that live together in symbiosis may have one of three kinds of relationships: mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. The mutualism shown by the rhinoceros and the tickbird benefits both. Riding on the rhino's back, the tickbird eats its fill of the ticks that bother the rhino while the rhino gets warning calls from the bird when it senses danger. In commensalism, one member benefits and the other is unaffected. Certain barnacles attach themselves to whales, gaining a safe home and transportation to food-rich waters. But the whales are generally unaffected by the barnacles' presence. In parasitism, though, one species generally gets hurt, as when fleas infest a dog's coat and feed on its blood.
