8. Commensalism
Photo taken by Jessica Humen on September 5 2011 at 9709 Cliffside Dr Irving, TX
This picture of student, Jessica Humen, and her dog, Noel, shows the symbiotic relationship of commensalism which is when one organism benefits from the relationship while the other is unaffected. Because Noel is able to comfortably rest her paw on Jessica’s face, she is benefitting from this relationship while this neither benefits nor hurts Jessica so she is unaffected.
9. Parasitism

17. Density Independent Factor
18. Competition
Photo Taken by Jessica Humen on November 4 2011 in Carrollton, TX
This picture of Jessica Humen’s cousins, Nicholas and Andrew, shows competition which is the interaction of two organisms where the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another. Because Nicholas is larger and fighting his younger brother, Andrew, he is lowering the fitness of Andrew by inhabiting the same area as him at that moment. This also shows how they are competing for territory (their play room) and Nicholas is tiring out Andrew by competing.
19. Water Cycle
Photo taken by Elias Diaz on February 27, 2015 in Coppell, TX at Coppell High School
This picture of students, Jessica, Paloma, and Sneha, playing in the snow shows the part of the water cycle known as precipitation. Precipitation is when water in the clouds becomes so dense that the clouds can’t hold it any longer so they it is released back to the Earth in forms such as rain, hail, sleet, or in this case, snow. This shows the water cycle which is the process of water circulating through earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land, because it shows the step of precipitation.

32. Invasive species
Photo Taken By Jessica Humen on December 21 2014 in Manhattan, NY in Times Square
This picture of people shows an invasive species because they clear and develop certain areas where they are not originally from and move there which disrupts the environment of that area along with the entire ecosystem. The population of humans is unregulated because when they move, there are no natural predators and they take resources from almost every native organism already inhabiting that area which disrupts the ecosystem.
