Symbiosis
interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both
What is Symbiosis?
The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
What is a Cell
a group of individuals of the same species living in the same geographic area and capable of interbreeding
What is a Population
a type of symbiotic relationship between two different species where both organisms benefit from the interaction
What is Mutualism
any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.
What is a Tissue
all the populations of different species that live and interact within a shared habitat or geographic area
What is a Community
a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of another organism, the host, which suffers harm from the interaction
What is Parasitism
a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.
What is an Organ
a community of living organisms (biotic factors) and their non-living physical environment (abiotic factors) functioning together as a unit
What is an Ecosystem
a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism (the commensal) benefits from the interaction, while the other organism (the host) neither benefits nor is harmed
What is Commensalism
a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function or set of functions in the body.
What is an Organ System
a large geographic region defined by its distinct climate, dominant plant life, and the animal species adapted to those conditions
What is a Biome
an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.
What is an Organism
the sum of all Earth's ecosystems – the region of the planet where life exists, encompassing the land, water, and air that supports all living organisms
What is the Biosphere
