Relationships Between Organisms in Nature

Explore the various relationships between organisms in nature, including intraspecific and interspecific interactions such as competition, predation, and parasitism. Learn how organisms compete for resources, hunt and protect themselves, as well as how parasites survive on host organisms. Delve into the complexities of coexistence and survival strategies among different species.

2. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Relations between individuals of one species - intraspecific Relations between individuals of different species - interspecific

3. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Competition Basic relationship Fight for the life conditions - water, space, light, food Between individuals of the same species and other species Among the individuals of one species - a fight for a territory - singers - competition for a selection of a partner - deer fights

4. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS It is often true, that the one who comes the first is the winner - trees Finders keepers Plants can compete with each other by means of the roots, they also can use secretions wormwood, couch. This competition may lead to suppression of other species, or to establish a state of equilibration Species can exist one next to another => coexistence

5. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Predation: Among the species One body becomes a prey to the other Predator x pray Predator carnivore or herbivore Carnivore kills the prey, herbivore may not kill the organism => protective measures Plants - substances that advise the predator - onion - spiny outgrowths on the leaves and stems Animals - colour, smelling feces

6. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Parasitism: Organisms sponge on the bodies or the metabolic products of other organisms A special type of predation Parasite x host Real parasite (holoparasite) - heterotrophs Hemiparasite autotrophs only needs minerals from the host - mistletoe

7. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Ectoparasites (external) x endoparasites (internal) They feed on the body fluids, tissues, body parts ... Some organisms are parasites only at a certain stage of development For example. A flea: a larva lives freely and eat organic residues and the adults feed on blood Endoparasites Schistosoma Schistosoma haematobium blood blood flukes flukes =>cystitis Ectoparasites fleas, lice, ticks haematobium -

8. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS A lot of parasites are pathogens Especially those feeding on body fluids In the Middle Ages there were fleas that carried the plague bacteria Today, for example ticks, which can transmit viruses that cause meningitis and bacteria that are causing Lyme disease

9. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Symbiosis: Fixed coexistence of two species Mutually beneficial co-existence - growing, food, reproduction Lichen - sponge + green algae Legume plants + bacteria can bind nitrogen

10. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Protocooperation Protocooperation : The relationship between pollinators and plants Comparatively free link They feed on plant juices + pollinating plants Sometimes only one species of an insect can pollinate certain plants

11. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORANISMS Cooperation: Cooperation of individuals A bird honeyguide feeds on honey and beeswax in most species and it can break even bee nests. Its screaming is heard by baboons or honey badgers and they can take honey from the nest. Or a bird honeyguide + natives

12. WORKSHEET - QUESTIONS What is a hemiparasite? Why are species in the wild competing? What is symbiosis? What are the types of parasites? What is the coexistence of a sponge with green algae in a lichen?
