OpenStudy (133):

Any choices??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah just a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. The relationship benefits both organism. B. The relationship is beneficial to neither organism. C. At least one organism benefits from the relationship. D. At least one organism is hurt or harmed by the relationship.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its b.

OpenStudy (133):

No it would be C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

definitely C

OpenStudy (133):

@3oceangirls3 you there??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both are types of symbolism. Commensalism is when one organism benefits and one is neither helped nor harmed (neutral), and mutualism is when both are helped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what do they have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both have at least one organism benefit from the relationship right? @3oceangirls3 so it would be C
