Symbiosis Webquest
Organisms often exist in close relationships in which one of the species benefits from the presence of the other. Your
goal is to find examples of each of the types of symbiosis and explain which organisms are involved and how each one is
affected.
Instructions:
Search the web for examples of symbiosis. You can directly google this, or perhaps look for pictures of symbiosis and
follow them from there.
Mutualism:
1) What is the definition of mutualism? (You may use symbols)
2) Example #1:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
3) Example #2:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
4) Example #3:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
Commensalism:
1) What is the definition of commensalism? (You may use symbols)
2) Example #1:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
3) Example #2:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
4) Example #3:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
Parasitism:
1) What is the definition of parasitism? (You may use symbols)
2) Example #1:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
3) Example #2:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
4) Example #3:
a. What two species are involved in the relationship?
b. What do each of the organisms get from the relationship?
Questions:
1) Which type of symbiosis was it easiest to find examples for?
2) Did you find any examples of symbiosis across kingdoms? (In other words, a plant with an animal, fungus with a
plant, etc.)
3) How does parasitism differ from predation?
