Symbiosis Flashcards
Photosynthetic organelle (thought to have evolved from prokaryotes engulfed by early eukaryotic cells).
Chloroplast
Coevolution
Gradual change in parallel of two symbiotic organisms which increases their level of adaptation to suit a dependent or independent relationship.
Direct contact
Mode of transmission of parasites which occurs when an infected host physically encounters another host.
Host
Partner that is harmed by loss of resources to a parasite is a symbiotic relationship.
Interdépendance
Relationship that exists between the two partners involved in a mutualistic relationship.
Organelle responsible for aerobic respiration (thought to have evolved from prokaryotes engulfed by early eukaryotic cells).
Mitochondrion
Parasite
Partner that benefits by obtaining energy or nutrients from a host in a symbiotic relationship.
Parasitism
Symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of another organism.
Form of parasite which on being released is able to survive adverse conditions for a long time before meeting a new host.
Resistant stage
Symbiosis
Ecological relationship between organisms of two different species that live in direct contact with one another.
Vector
Organism that carries a parasite from one host to another.
