Class Response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three facts learned in class:

1.) There needs to be a balance between predators and prey.

2.) Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is not harmed.

3.) Mutualism is when both organisms benefit.

4.) Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed.

The topic of the unit we are studying is ecology. My opinion on it is that it is fun to learn about how nature works. I may have known about predators and preys but I didn't know about the need for balance between the two. I also didn't know about the forms of symbiosis, and how many of each kind is around me. Information about the four facts can be found at the two websites below:
