One species may live in close association with another species. If these organisms share resources then this arrangement is called symbiosis. Symbiosis in which both species benefit from the association is called mutualism. If the association is beneficial to one species but neither benefits nor harms the other, it is called commensalism. If one species benefits at the expense of the other, then the relationship is called parasitism. Bacteria living in the gut of termites, receiving protection and nutrients and supplying the termite with enzymes to digest cellulose is an example of commensalism mutualism coevolution competition parasitism

Learning Task 2: Study the words below. Match each their correct descriptions presented in numbers 1 to 10. Write your answer in your answer sheet: Competition Commensalism Mutualism Predation Endoparasites Symbiosis Parasitism Ectoparasites Food Chain Food web 1. A relationship in which one species benefits while the other receives neither benefit nor harm. 2. One species benefits and individuals of the other species are harmed. 3. Both species benefit. 4. A parasite that finds on the internal organs of the host. 5. The pursuit, capture, and killing of animals for food. 6. A simple model used to show how matter and energy move through an ecosystem. 7. Any closer personal association among organisms of different species. 8. A parasite that feeds on the external part of the host. 9. Interaction between organisms or species in which both the organisms or species are harmed or not benefited. 10. A model that shows all the possible feeding relationships at each trophic level in a community.
