7D Interactions with organisms

 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.

8E Air Pressure comprehension

 8E: Please do this, and complete by Friday May 22nd.

8C and 8D have done them already

No blog from May 19 to 22 since 8C does not check what must be done

 That means you really don't care about your learning in my room.

7D Science, water cycle

 8C - Three Gorges Dam quiz on Tuesday. Take notes, open book and good luck

- Yin, Isaac, Shayli, Daivik, Sean, Tani (dont have to write, because you are perfect, 100%)

8C

- rolling two dice 100x. Tally the results based on combinations (order not important, that means 1-2 is the same as 2-1)

1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6

2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6

3-3, 3-4, 3-5, 3-6

4-4, 4-5, 4-6

5-5, 5-6

6-6

- note: there are a total of 21 combinations. That means the chance of getting an even or odd result is not 50%. Example: 1-5 = 6 (even), 2-3 = 5 (odd)

- if you want to be smarter, calculate the probability of getting an odd or even results
