S&EP - SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence
I used evidence to defend my explanation. I filled out a note taking worksheet about all five symbiotic relationships and answered another worksheet where I had to find out what type of relationship was present in certain situations and explain how I know, providing the note taking worksheet that I filled out previously, as evidence. I formulated evidence based on solid data when I stated that the interaction between the ants and the acacia tree, where the ants use the tree as shelter and the tree uses the ants as protection, is the relationship Mutualism. Using the information that Mutualism is when both organisms benefit from the relationship from the note taking sheet, as evidence. I examined my own understanding in light of the evidence. I used to think that a symbiotic relationship was another type of interaction that was apart of the five different relationships, but because of watching a couple of videos that were provided to my classmates and I, now I think that symbiotic relationships is the general idea of what these five relationships are. It is the sort of topic that these relatioships are categorized under. I collaborated with my peers in searching for the best explanation. I did some research on symbiotic relationships which I discussed with the classmates located at the table I sit in. Together we figured out that there are five different symbiotic relationships that describe the different interactions that occur between two organisms in the wild.
XCC: Cause and effect
The cause and effect relationship that occurs in symbiotic relationships are mainly seen in Predation, Competition, and Parasitism. The cause and effect relationship in Predation is between the predator and the prey. In this case, the predator usually effects the prey. This is because the natural instincts of the predator to hunt down the prey for food and consume it, effects the prey by tremendously harming it. This action potientally kills the prey or injures parts of its body. The cause and effect relationship that happens in Competition is between either two organisms from different species or two organisms in the same population and species. In Competition, the effect of one organism to the other can happen either way. More specifically, either this organism can effect the other or the other organism can effect this organism. The actions that one organism takes to compete for resources such as water, food, or shelter, effects the other by harming it. This harms the other organism by taking away a key resource it needs to survive. Once again, this can happen both ways. Lastly, the cause and effect relationship that occurs in Parastism is between the very small organism, usually parasites or insects, and the other organism that is normally much larger. In this situation, the parasite or insect always effects the other organism. The parasite or insect effects the other organism by harming it with its actions of getting its energy from the other organism. These actions usually include biting the other organism and taking some of its blood, or entering the organism and taking its food. These different actions effect and harm the other organism by irritating it or making it sick. However, this doesn't usually kill the other organism unless taken to an extent.
