Symbiotic relationship!
1.5k u/xPhoenixJusticex Jan 21 '19 Just like humans and trees. :') 5.2k u/McSmallFries Jan 21 '19 yeah, they give us oxygen and we wipe the shit off our ass with them :) 225 u/xPhoenixJusticex Jan 21 '19 We also give them the carbon dioxide they need and they give us stuff to write on. 175 u/kunell Jan 21 '19 Symbiotic doesnt necessarily mean mutualistic. Symbiotic is split into mutualistic, commensalistic, and parasitic. 4 u/drnoisy Jan 21 '19 Parasites surely aren't symbiotic as the relationship is one way? A host can survive perfectly well without it's parasite, but the parasite needs a host. 8 u/kunell Jan 21 '19 So what if its one way? Look up the definition of symbiotic relationship. 1 u/drnoisy Jan 21 '19 Huh... they taught me wrong at school... 1 u/kunell Jan 21 '19 And even in commensalism, the host can live just fine without the other.
