Question

what is symbiont???
Explain in detail and give examples of symbiont....

Answer 1

A symbiont is an organism that is very closely associated with another, usually larger, organism. This larger organism is called a host. A symbiont can live on, in, or sometimes very near its host.

There are two general categories of symbionts: ectosymbionts and endosymbionts. Ectosymbionts live outside of their hosts' cells. For example, the bacteria living on your skin and in your digestive tract are ectosymbionts. These bacteria can be very helpful for fighting off harmful microorganisms.

Endosymbiont, on the other hand, live inside of their hosts' cells. Some plants, for example, have endosymbiotic bacteria living inside their root cells, helping the plants grow.

A symbiotic relationship is the interaction of a symbiont species and a host species. These interacting species can affect each other in positive or negative ways, or sometimes not at all. There are six possible types of symbiotic relationships:

Parasitism
Mutualism
Commensalism
Amensalism
Synnecrosis
Neutralism
