Predation is the act of one organism (the predator) feeding on another organism (the prey) in order to obtain nutrients and energy. Predators have evolved specialized adaptations such as sharp teeth, claws, or venom to capture and kill their prey. Predation is a key aspect of ecological communities and plays an important role in regulating populations and maintaining the balance of ecosystems.

Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits from the relationship while the other is neither harmed nor helped. In commensalism, one organism, known as the commensal, benefits from the association by receiving food, shelter, or support from the other organism, known as the host, without affecting the host in any way.

An example of commensalism is the relationship between barnacles and whales. Barnacles attach themselves to the skin of a whale and benefit from the transportation and access to food that the whale provides, while the whale is not affected by the presence of the barnacles.

Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the interaction. In mutualism, both species involved in the relationship derive a net positive outcome, such as obtaining nutrients, protection, or other resources that they could not access on their own.

Mutualistic relationships can be found in various ecosystems and can involve a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. Examples of mutualism include the relationship between bees and flowers, where bees benefit from nectar and pollen provided by flowers for food, while flowers benefit from pollination by bees, leading to reproduction and the production of seeds. Mutualistic interactions play a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of ecological communities.
