Symbiotic Relationships | NDK science

What is Symbiotic Relationships?

Symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic. The organisms, each termed a symbiont, must be of different species. 

In normal words

Different species often inhabit the same spaces and share—or compete for—the same resources, they interact in a variety of ways, known collectively as symbiosis. There are five main symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, predation, parasitism, and competition.     

 

Human Symbiotic Relationships. 


When two species benefit from each other, the symbiosis is called mutualism (or syntropy, or crossfeeding). For example, humans have a mutualistic relationship with the bacterium Bacteroids the taiotetraiotamicron, which lives in the intestinal tract. 


An interesting example. 

The symbiotic relationship between an anemone (Heteractis magnifica) and a clownfish (Amphiron ocellaris) is a classic example of two organisms benefiting the other; the anemone provides the clownfish with protection and shelter, while the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients in the form of waste while also scaring

NDK Astronomy | Mars landing by NASA.

NDK Astronomy                   The mars landing by NASA. Resently 18/2/2021 National aeronutics and space adminstration launched a space rover for the red planet, Mars.  A Mars landing is a landing of a spacecraft on the surface of Mars. Of multiple attempted Mars landings by robotic, unmanned spacecraft, ten have had successful soft landings. There have also been studies for a possible human mission to Mars, including a landing, but none have been attempted.  The most recent landing took place on the 18 of February 2021 by the NASA rover  of 2021, all methods of landing on Mars have used an   aeroshell   and   parachute   sequence for   Mars atmospheric entry   and descent, but after the parachute is detached, there are three options. A stationary lander can drop from the parachute back shell and ride   retrorockets   all the way down, but a   rover   cannot be burdened with r...

Albert Einstein

                                        Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.   He is also known for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Einstein developed a theory of special and general relativity, which helped to complicate and expand upon theories that had been put forth by  Isaac Newton  over 200 years prior.  The maximum  IQ  score assigned by the WAIS-IV, a commonly-used test today, is 160. A score of 135 or above puts a person in the 99th percentile of the population. News articles often put  Einstein's IQ  at 160, though it's unclear what that estimate is based upon.  Einstein's Big Idea home...
