Document Summary

In other words, how one species affects the population growth of another species: + = positive effect. If they were apart, they: example: termites and their intestinal protists. Termites eat wood, but on their own they cannot digest it. They need the protists to break it down for them with cellulase. the protists are also eating and the termites are bringing them the food: mutualism (+/+, exploitation (+/-) Predator/prey: the predator obviously benefits from this relationship because it is getting fed and the prey is obviously not benefiting and is being harmed from this relationship because it is dying. This can be considered exploitation because a predator may kill many prey organisms: parasitoid, only one host is attacked, but it"s still going to get killed.
