A relationship between two organisms in which one of the organisms is benefited.
What is Symbiosis?

This is the cycle in which carbon dioxide it created, turned into oxygen, and how it's turned into fossil fuels and is added to global warming.
What is the Carbon cycle?
400
This is the most hot biome and most organisms are nocturnal so they don't lose water.
What is the desert biome?
400
It's when too much carbon dioxide gets trapped in the atmosphere and causes the world to heat up.
What is global warming?

400
When two organisms fight for limited resources.
