Commensalism is a situation in which two organisms are associated in a relationship in which one benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected much. The two animals are called commensals. An example pf commensalism is vermiliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the vermiliad but the vermiliad is unaffected. Commensalism is a type of symbiosis. ...

Answer 4

different species sometimes interact with each other to increase their chances of survival. these are called symbiotic relationships. there are different kinds of symbiotic relationships, depending on how each organism is affected, i.e. postitively or negatively.

for example, parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits from the relationship, while the other is harmed.

commensalism is similar, where one organism benefits from the relationship. the difference is that the second organism is neither harmed or benefited. i.e. a clownfish, which uses the sea anemone as its home for protection from predators, meanwhile the sea anemone is neither harmed nor benefited.

you can think of symbiotic relationships in terms of +, -, and 0 (positive effect, negative effect, neutral effect).

parasitism: + -
mutualism: + +
commensalism: + 0
competition: - -
neutralism: 0 0
