What does the symbol +,0 represent in symbiotic relationships?

• Commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected.

• Competition, where both species are harmed.

What does the symbol +,+ represent in symbiotic relationships?

• Mutualism, where both species benefit.

• Parasitism, where one species benefits at the expense of another.

• Commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.

• Competition, where both species are harmed.

How does competition differ from symbiosis?

• Competition occurs when two organisms vie for the same resources, while symbiosis involves a close interaction that can be beneficial or harmful.

• Competition is a form of cooperation between species, while symbiosis is a struggle for survival.

• Competition happens only in plants, whereas symbiosis occurs in animals.

• Competition leads to extinction, while symbiosis always results in mutual benefit.
