Name __________________________________

 

            Relationships can be described as one of three ways: commensalistic, mutualistic and parasitic.  After looking at the pictures and reading the descriptions on pages 14-15 in the textbook, you should be able to figure out what type of relationship is being described.  You should also explain why you chose that type of relationship.  REMEMBER: ALL RELATIONSHIPS HAVE TWO SIDES.  Please tell what each organism gets from the other organism.
