Five types of interactions
Here are the five main types of interactions with examples:
Predation (+/-): One organism (predator) kills and consumes another (prey). Example: A lion hunting a zebra.
Competition (-/-): Two or more organisms vie for the same limited resource, such as food, water, or territory, harming both in the process. Example: Lions and hyenas competing for the same prey.
Mutualism (+/+): Both species benefit from the interaction. Example: Bees gathering nectar while pollinating flowers.
Commensalism (+/0): One organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. Example: Barnacles attaching to whales for transportation.
Parasitism (+/-): One organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of another (host), typically without killing it immediately. Example: Ticks feeding on a dog.
Part B
Identify the type of biotic interaction being described in each example: predation, interspecific competition, intraspecific competition, mutualism, parasitism, commensalism.
1. _____Competition____ Two humans fight for the last bag of chips.
2. ____Commensalism______ Some birds use abandoned nests built by other birds.
3. ____Parasitism______ Tapeworms can be found in the intestines of animals (such as cats, dogs and humans) absorbing nutrients meant for the animal, making them very skinny.
4. ____Competition_____ Cows and horses both graze on grass.
5. ____Mutualism___ Dogs have lived with humans for thousands of years, getting food and shelter. Humans receive companionship, protection and assistance from dogs.
6. ____Predation______ Foxes hunt and kill rabbits.

G8 Water system notes

G8 Water System
Fresh water is precious, Canada has plenty of fresh water sources
Most regions around the world - drought, flood
Don’t waste fresh water even though it is plentiful in Canada
How? Environmentally friendly toilets (3L for PEE, 6L for POO)
Turn off water when brushing your teeth (2 mins per brush)
Try not to buy bottled water (pump underground water from local springs outside Toronto) - if this continues, all underground fresh water in the aquifers will dry up
Washing machines - do laundry when there is a full load
Global warming - more cars and trucks on the street - more extreme weather
(what can a teenagre do to help the environment?)
Walk or bike to school
Public transit (bus, subway)
Frank Sinatra “My Way”
Be nice to your parents, because the weather in Toronto is not as extreme as the other regions around the world
- Tap water in Canada is safe to drink (Fluoride is added to strengthen enamel and prevent cavity
- must boil water from other countries (e.g. China, India, Iran) before drinking -
- Western European countries (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium etc) - mus boil water before drinking: old water pipes, probably metal that tend to rust
- also need water filter to remove metals
Young women, ready to start a family - ONLY eat two fish meals per week (most oceans, lakes and rivers are contaminated - fish filet has heavy metals)
Fish from fish farms are safer, the conditions are controlled (water quality, fish feeds)
