Ecology To The MAX!!!

Over the past few weeks, my science class has been learning about ecology and how living thing cooperate with each other. For example, the human-canine relationship is mutualistic (meaning both species benefit) because:
1. Humans get assistance with tasks such as helping the blind walk or finding criminals.
2. Dog receive shelter, food, and (hopefully) a loving owner.
In addition, we've been taught how to categorize producers, consumers, decomposers, food chains, food webs, habitats, environments, communities, (inhale) populations, parasitism, and commensalism (phew!). I liked this lesson because it explains what happens and how things work in the world around us. For more information on ecology, click the link below:
