Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one receives a benefit or benefits from the other and the other is not affected by it. In other words, one is benefited and the other is neither benefited nor harmed.

Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits from the relationship, and the other is neither harmed nor does it benefit. Commensalism may be thought of as a positive-zero relationship in which one organism benefits, and the other is neither harmed nor hurt.

An example of commensalism is army ants that live in tropical areas. These army ants move across the rain forest and jungle and eat whatever they can find. Another kind of insect, a type of silverfish, marches right along with them. The silverfish are there in small numbers, and they don’t seem to compete for food with the army ants. The silverfish gain protection from predators by being in the midst of all the ants. They may get food left over from the ants. The silverfish benefit, while the army ants are neither harmed nor helped.

After watching the video, how would you define the term ecological relationship? Are they always beneficial to organisms involve

dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.
