What type of symbiosis is it when one organism benefits but the other is harmed? Parasitism
A remora fish riding on the belly of a shark is an example of this type of symbiosis. Commensalism
A heart worm inside a dog would be this type of symbiosis. Parasitism
A clown fish living in a sea anemone would be this type of symbiosis. Mutualism

Name three secondary decomposers in our ecosystem Insects, worms and spiders
Three factors that determine rate of decomposition Temperature, moisture and chemical makeup of organism being decomposed
Relationship between individuals of two different species who lives together Symbiosis
Win-Win symbiotic relationship Mutualism
Win-Lose symbiotic relationship Parasitism

Number of different organisms and species in a given area determines the ____ of the area. Biodiversity
In what three ways is biodiversity measured? Genetic, species and by looking at the ecosystem
When a biologist looks at the number of genetic variations in an area, they are researching what? Genetic biodiversity
When a biologist looks at the number of species in an area, they are researching what? Species biodiversity
What happens to biodiversity at the equator? The biodiversity is higher at the equator.
