Slide1 : Mutualism
Find an example of mutualism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples (three points that cover the benefits and at least one drawback) to describe the benefits and potential limitations of the relationship (remember from your Case assignment, even mutually beneficial relationships can have drawbacks as noted with the monkeys and wolves). Show an image to illustrate the relationship.

Slide 2: Commensalism
Find an example of commensalism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples to describe the benefits and limitations of the relationship. Show an image to illustrate the relationship.

Slide 3: Parasitism
Find an example of parasitism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples to describe the benefits and limitations of the relationship. Show an image to illustrate the relationship.
