Parasitism Competition

Competition Grazing
A cheetah and a lion can be classified as competition since they both feed on the same animal. This can be a big problem when these two animals meet each other due to the less food they can get. A cow and grass can be classified as grazing since a cow feeds on grass or in some cases algae. We can see that only one is getting benefited, or we can also say they are both getting benefited due to the faster growth of grass.

Predation
An artic fox and a leming can be classified as a predation due to its consumption and absorption of the prays tissue

Parasitism
A mistletoe parasite and a tree can be classified as parasitism because the mistletoe consumes the tree (host) and eventually kills the host, we can see that only one gets benefited

Mutualism
A humming bird and a flower can be classified as mutualism due to the alimentation that the humming bird does and the pollination the bird does as well, we can see they both get benefited

Mutualism -- both species benefit Commensalism -- one species benefits, the other is unaffected Parasitism -- one species benefits, the other is harmed Competition -- neither species benefits Neutralism -- both species are unaffected
