Nutritional Symbiosis
The technical definition of nutritional symbiosis is “the relationship between two or more organisms in which they share their shelter and nutrients.” There are three different kinds of symbiotic relationships, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. Although in some cases, not everyone is benefited by these relationships (depending on the type of symbiosis that is occurring) symbiotic relationships are a way organisms have truly learned to survive, reproduce, grow and benefit from what others have to offer. There are many different relationships between many different kinds of animals that fall under these categories but for this essay I am going to compare the relationship between a tick and a dog and the relationship between a butterfly and a flower (parasitic and mutualistic relationships).
The first example I am going to be talking about is the relationship between a tick and a dog. A tick is a bloodsucking parasite that feeds on human and animal blood causing bite marks, infections, and sometimes even diseases. Ticks are part of ...
They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and are different in so many ways, but in the end, they all need each other to survive. This is the beauty of nature, in its most purest form, it is the perfect symbiotic
One of them is called a parasitic relationship this is when the tapeworm is benefited by eating the Red Pandas food but, the Red panda is hurt by the tapeworm eating all of its food. Another Symbiotic relationship is called a Commensalistic relationship this is when the red panda is benefited by getting protection from a tree while the tree is unaffected. The last relationship is the mutualistic relationship this is when the Red panda gets help from say a raccoon the raccoon bumps a bird’s nest down the Red panda eats the bird the racoon eats the eggs both are benefited. The Red panda has a variety of relationships but how does the Red panda do with the the harsh conditions of its
Throughout the second half of this semester, dual relationships have been emphasized as one of the most frequently encountered ethical dilemmas faced by behavior analysts in the field today. According to the class lectures, assigned text, and other articles that we have read, this is due to the fact that we interact with our clients and those caring for them in their natural settings. As a result, those we provide services to, and interact with, are in the places in which they feel the most comfortable, their homes or regular classrooms. This is in stark contrast to a formal office setting, which projects an atmosphere with both expected standards of acceptable behavior, and clear boundaries between client and the service provider. In an effort
In this paper, I am going to use concepts from the social exchange theory and relational dialectics theory to describe my relationship with my boyfriend. First, I will discuss the cost and rewards of the relationship. Second, I will then discuss the dialectics of autonomy and connection followed by, openness and protection.
While I was reading the novel Beloved, I noticed several testimonies throughout the book, one of them being equality. The novel tells a tragic story about slavery and it is often pointed out that the color of one’s skin determines how he or she will be treated throughout life. The slaves in the book are in constant battle to survive among the white men; however, survival is not always the best things for the slaves.
Trying to define codependency can be very difficult. It is not an exact or definitive state; rather, it's more of a general description for a variety of behaviors. Put simply, codependency is an addiction to love, where one person in a relationship is devoted and completely invested to a point where it negatively affects his or her emotional and physical well-being.
As an undergraduate student the one word that you don’t want to hear from the doctors during a check-up or from a significant other is the word “syphilis”. This is like social suicide in addition to the obvious health issues and pictures that come to mind when hearing about this STD. A term that we have come to hear and to an extent be frightened of ever since that one crazy sex-education teacher ,back in high school, told you it was basically a death sentence if you were to catch it. Now though it’s not necessarily a death sentence it definitely is not your average chicken pox. So what exactly does this have to do with pathology? Everything! Now let’s take a moment to mentally go back in time to the earliest record of this disease.
Substance disorders affects all social, educational, cultural, and age groups. Substance abuse research often focusses on the abuser and the family as a whole but not how it affects their spouse. United States misuse is linked to approximately 590,000 deaths and is responsible for injury or illness to almost 40 million individuals every year. (Cox, R., Ketner, J. & Blow, A. 2013). The consequences resulted from this disorder, are not only related to the substance abusers, but also have a great influence on their behavior and other layers of their life, especially their wives (Salehyan, Bigdeli, & Hashemian 2011). When the husband or boyfriend has an addiction the wife takes on responsibilities of her spouse which causes an increase in stress. Marriage is generally described as a protective factor against substance use. The concept of codependency was developed to explain what happens to the spouse of a substance abuser.
In the first chapter, Man the Hunter, William H. McNeill talks about the relationships between populations and parasites. He first talks about how there is a balanced relationship between the population and parasites. A balanced relationship is a relationship where the parasite lives off of the host or inside of the host. An example of a parasite and a host might be tapeworms inside of the human body and getting into your digestive tract. McNeill says that different people react differently to different parasites. Some people may resist the parasite and other people can be devastated by these parasites. McNeil says, “In the absence of some such disturbance, however, a tolerable state of health can be supposed, such as exists among wild primates
1. The specific organism should be shown to be present in all cases of animals suffering from a specific disease but should not be found in healthy animals.
Often in nature organisms rely on one another to survive. Relationships in which each partner gives equally are called symbiotic. The two partners live harmoniously along side one another depending on each other but still have the ability to stand and act alone should they need to. However, these perfect relationships do not always exist. Sometimes, certain organisms take more than they give and as a result the other organism suffers. Those that do this are called parasites. In Toni Morrison's novel, Sula, Sula Peace and Nel Wright demonstrate a symbiotic relationship gone awry. The two start off learning from each other and giving to each other equally, but as they spend more time together Sula seems to thrive and Nel seems to wither away. The relationship does not continue in this manner for Nel realizes that in order to survive she must remove Sula from her life and reverse the negative effect of their relationship. Using the relationship that she develops between Nel and Sula, Morrison implies that codependence can be compromising to oneself, suggesting that if one cannot stand on their own the result will be fatal.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitting infection caused by Treonema pallidum, a gram negative, and anaerobic spirochete bacteria 1. Syphilis is thought to have been brought to Europe by Columbus and his sailors in the 1500’s 1. The disease is characterized by four different stages with varying symptoms depending on the stage that the disease is in1. Often syphilis is presented with another sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia. Public education regarding safe sex is important for the prevention of this sexually transmitted infection.
There are many different types of relationships. From your neighbor to your significant other, experiencing different relationships is a part of everyday life. Wether you posses good or bad communication skills will affect the interpersonal relationships within your life. The popular television series Modern Family is a good example of the different types of friendships, types of love, and relationship theories that encompass the everyday person.
Shaping knowledge is similar to reevaluating what a person may consider to be true. While this is neither a positive or negative thing, it impacts the progression of the world, in terms of societal cues, which is constantly reliant on continued shared knowledge among individuals. Shared knowledge shapes personal knowledge, and this is done by strengthening personal knowledge or by bringing its validity into question. This is dependent on the individual accepting knowledge. Some people may not have experienced a certain type of situation, so they would
As humans, we are constantly building relationships with others and meeting new people, but sometimes it 's hard to maintain a relationship with another person, when only one person is engaged in it. All healthy relationships or friendships should be based upon the concepts of caring, supporting, and spending time with each other, and if one person is not able to provide these concepts towards the other person, then the relationship quickly becomes one-sided.
