Mutualism: A mutualistic relationship is when both benefit from each others actions.
-An example of a mutualistic relationship with a Bald Eagle could be when farmers plant wheat in a field, this attracts prey. The Bald Eagles eat the prey that are in the field so the Bald Eagle receives food and the farmer does not have animals in their field.
Commensalism: A commensalistic relationship is when one organism benefits but the other organism is not effected at all.
-An example of a commensalistic relationship with a Bald Eagle could be when Bald Eagle make their nests in Acacia trees. The birds are benefitted by the nest but the Acacia trees are not affected.
Parasitism: This relationship is when one benefits and the other organism is harmed.
-An example parasitism with a Bald Eagle is the Helminth parasite. It lives on Bald Eagles, receiving nourishment while disrupting nutrient absorption.
