Identify Symbiosis

Symbiosis is the relationship between animals, bugs, or plants. Including three types of symbiosis; Commensalism, Parasitism, Mutualism. Mutualism is when both parties benefit from each other, a cow-bird would eat the bugs off of a cow, the cow is cleaner and more comfortable while the cow-bird is getting a free dinner. Commensalism is when one benefits but the other is not effected, an example would be the atlantic puffin, they make there nests out of old rabbit burrows. Parasitism is when one benefits but the other organism is harmed, an example would be ebola, ebola will effect an organisms bone marrow by eating it making the target weaker but the parasite stronger.
