Answer: A symbiotic relationship is an ecological relationship between the individuals of 2 (can be or more) different species. There are 5 main types of Symbiotic relationships- Mutualism, parasitism, commensalism, predation, and competition.
1 example in the category of Mutualism is given below.
Explanation:
Mutualism- In which both species benefit from each other.
Commensalism- In which 1 species lives with, on, or in another species which is called the host.
Parasitism- In which 1 species lives with, on, or in another species which is called the host, but the host gets affected.
Predation-One species kills or hunts the other species. This relationship causes substantial harm.
Competition- The struggle between the organisms for the limited number of available resources in an ecosystem. It can be interspecific (different species) and intraspecific (members of the same species).
Example- Mutualism- Symbiotic relationship between sea anemones and clownfish.
- Sea anemone lives by attaching to the coral reef and they catch their prey with nematocytes (stinging cells), which are located on their tentacles. When a small animal comes in contact with the tentacles of the anemone. The nematocytes releases toxin that paralyzes the animal, allowing the anemone to easily bring the animal to its mouth.
- Clownfish secret the substance in the mucus that covers their bodies, due to which they don’t feel the sensation created by the firing of nematocytes. Making it swim comfortable between the anemone’s tentacles. This makes the environment around the clownfish quite safe as anemone’s stings kill off the potential predators. In turn, the bright color of clownfish attracts predators which are caught and ingested by anemones. This is how both species benefits.
