Discuss an example of a mutualistic symbiosis

Objective: How do species interact on a coral reef? Dive beneath the ocean waves and explore the many unique symbiotic relationships found in this diverse ecosystem.Instructions: Watch the embedded video to investigate three different symbiotic relationships: Mutualism, Parasitism, and Commenulism. Answer the discussion prompt Discussion Prompt: Consider the different ecosystems that interest you. Discuss an example of each type of symbiosis you might find in these ecosystems. Note: Please do not use the examples from the video. 1. Discuss an example of a mutualistic symbiosis.A) Explain how the symbiont benefits from this symbiotic relationship.B) Explain how the host benefits from this symbiotic relationship.C) What interesting fact about this relationship lead you to report on it?2. Discuss an example of a parasitic symbiosis.A) Explain how the symbiont (parasite) benefits from this symbiotic relationship.B) Explain how the host is harmed by this symbiotic relationship.C) What interesting fact about this relationship lead you to report on it?3. Discuss an example of a commenaslistic symbiosis.A) Explain how the symbiont benefits from this symbiotic relationship.B) Explain why the host is not affected (neither helped nor harmed) by this symbiotic relationship.C) What interesting fact about this relationship lead you to report on it?4. Discuss an example of a symbiotic relationship (Mutualism, Parasitism, or Commenulism) where humans can be the host to a symbiont (either internally or externally). A) Explain how the symbiont benefits from this symbiotic relationship.B) Explain how the human host either benefits, is harmed, or is not affected by this symbiotic relationship.C) What interesting fact about this relationship lead you to report on it?1.
