Interaction Among Organisms(Symbiotic Relationship)

There are 6 different kinds of symbiotic relationships:
  1. Mutualism, where both species benefit
  2. Commensalism, where one species benefits, the other is unaffected
  3. Parasitism, where one species benefits, the other is harmed
  4. Competition, where neither species benefits
  5. Neutralism, where both species are unaffected
  6. Predation, one of the animal is the predator and the other one is the prey.
Examples:
Mutualism- honeybee and flower
Commensalism- arctic fox and caribou
Parasitism- puppy and roundworm
