that live together in the same area at the
same time
Resources (food, water, living space, sunlight)
that limit the size of a population
All of the species living in an area
Two or more individuals or populations trying
to use the same limited resource (food,
water, living space, sunlight)
Animal that is hunted and eaten (if caught)
Animal that hunts, kills and eats the prey
Coloring that helps an organism blend into its
background
A close, long-term association between two
or more organisms
This will be illustrated in your poster by drawing
examples of organisms in each of the three
different types of symbiotic relationships:
mutualism, commensalism, parasitism.
A symbiotic relationship where both
organisms benefit or are helped  
A symbiotic relationship where one organism
benefits or is helped while the other
organism is neither helped nor harmed  
A symbiotic relationship where one organism
benefits or is helped (parasite) while the
other organism is harmed (host)  
