Bot, define the 5 different types of symbiosis.
1. Mutualism: Both species benefit from the relationship. For example, the clownfish and sea anemone have a mutualistic relationship where the clownfish gets protection from predators in the anemone's tentacles, and the anemone gets food scraps from the clownfish.
2. Commensalism: One species benefits from the relationship while the other is not significantly affected. An example is the relationship between barnacles and whales, where barnacles attach themselves to the whale's skin and feed on particles in the water without harming the whale.
3. Parasitism: One species benefits at the expense of the other. Parasites live on or in a host organism and obtain nutrients at the host's expense. Examples include ticks on mammals or tapeworms in the intestines of animals.
4. Amensalism: One species is harmed while the other is unaffected. For example, the release of toxic chemicals by plants that inhibit the growth of neighboring plants.
5. Competition: Both species are negatively affected as they compete for limited resources such as food, water, or shelter. This can lead to a decrease in population size or changes in behavior to avoid competition.
