Biotic Factors

Symbiotic Relationships

Parasitism- Star fish strip down corals for nutrientsParasitism- Worms dig into the coral for shelter, killing the coralMutual- Zooxanthelle live in the crevices of corals and provides oxygen to the coral and recieves the carbon dioxide to photosythesize

Mutualism-Some catapillars have a sweet residue on their backs that a certain type of ants eat. In return the ants protect the catapillars.Parastism- A fly will ay eggs on an ant and the eggs will dig into the ant's body Commensalism- flower mites crawl into a hummingbird's nasal passage and travel to another flower
