Eyespot
A close relationship between two or more species where at least one benefits
Symbiosis
A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where all benefits from the association
Mutualism
A relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited
Commensalism
A relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed
Parasitism
Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion
Cilia
A reproductive cell with a hard protective coating
Spore

Plankton
Tiny floating organisms that are either small animals or Protozoa
Zooplankton
Tiny floating photosynthetic organisms primarily algae
Phytoplankton
The body of plant like organism that is not divided into leaves roots or stems
