Symbiosis and Parasitism
This picture is of both a tree and fungus. This is an example of parasitism, parasitism is when, one organism is living on or inside another oragnism and harming it. In this case the fungus is the parasite and the tree is the host. Obviously, the fungus is doing much harm to the tree because it is somewhat invading the tree and its supply of food and water. This picture was taken by Eatmybubbles, at a near location. I feel this was/is a great example of both symbiosis and parasitism, and that is why I chose to blog about it.

Abiotic and Biotic Limiting Factor
This picture of grass, is a Biotic limiting factor. This is a limiting factor, because if there was so grass to feed a cow, eventually the cow would die of starvation. If the cow were to die soon we as humans would have no cows/hamburgers or cheeseburgers to feed us. The existence of deer would also be limited/affected by the lack of grass to feed them. This was taken by Eatmybubbles, near my school.
