THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIVING THINGS CAN BE INTRASPECIFIC OR

INTERSPECIFIC

INTRASPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPSTHESE ARE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIVING ORGANISMS OF THE SAME SPECIES.

REPRODUCTION

FEEDING

SOME SPECIES HUNT IN PACKS IN OTHER TO CATCH AND KILL LARGE ANIMALS FOR FOOD

PROTECTION

SOME SPECIES OF ANIMALS LIVE IN HERDS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM PREDATORS ATTACKS

INTRASPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS

INTERSPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPSTHESE ARE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIVING THINGS FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES. IN A

COMMUNITY OF LIVING THINGS, ORGANISMS OF DIFFERENT SPECIES INTERACT WITH EACH

OTHER. THE LIFE OF EACH SPECIES IS LINKED TO THE LIVES OF OTHER SPECIES WITHIN

THE COMMUNITY. IN SOME INSTANCES THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARMFUL TO ONE OF

THE SPECIES AND IN OTHERS THEY ARE BENEFICIAL FOR BOTH SPECIES.

INTERSPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS

THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON INTERSPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS:

PREDATION

IT IS A RELATIONSHIPS IN WHICH ONE ORGANISM KILLS AND EATS ANOTHER.

MUTUALISM

THIS IS A RELATIONSHIPS THAT BRINGS BENEFIT TO BOTH ORGANISM.

PARASITISM

THE HOST.

SYMBIOSIS

WITHOUT THE OTHER. THIS IS THE CASE OF LICHENS, WHICH ARE FORMED BY THE UNION OF AN ALGAE AND A FUNGI.
