research three examples of symbiosis and develop a PowerPoint presentation
2 Powerpoint presentations 8 slides each with 4 sources for each.
PowerPoint project 1:
All organisms within an ecosystem participate in relationships with other organisms. Some relationships benefit the organisms and are essential for both species to survive. Others are detrimental (negative) to one organism, but critical for the other organism. Symbiosis and mutualism are not the same thing! Symbiosis is defined as any long-term relationship between two or more species. Mutualism is a type of symbiosis. Two other types of symbiosis found in ecosystems are commensalism and parasitism. Commensalism is when one organism benefits from the relationship, while the other one is neither helped nor harmed. An example of commensalism is a barnacle on a whale. The barnacle gets protection and transportation to different food sources while the whale is neither helped nor harmed by the presence of the barnacle. Parasitism is when one organism benefits, but harms the other member in the relationship.
For this SLP assignment, you will research three examples of symbiosis and develop a PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:
Slide 1: Title Slide
Title Slide with Name, Course, and Date
Slide 2: Introduction
Topics to be covered in outline form
Slide 3: Mutualism
Find an example of mutualism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples (three points that cover the benefits and at least one drawback) to describe the benefits and potential limitations of the relationship (remember from your Case assignment, even mutually beneficial relationships can have drawbacks as noted with the monkeys and wolves). Show an image to illustrate the relationship.
Slide 4: Commensalism
Find an example of commensalism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples to describe the benefits and limitations of the relationship. Show an image to illustrate the relationship.
Slide 5: Parasitism
Find an example of parasitism and describe the relationship between the two organisms. Give three examples to describe the benefits and limitations of the relationship. Show an image to illustrate the relationship.
Slides 6-8: Exploring Ecosystems
Watch the following video:
Exploring Ecosystems: Coral Reef Symbiosis | California Academy of Sciences
Describe two examples of mutualistic relationships found on the coral reef in the video. Be sure to describe how each organism benefits in the relationship. Provide images illustrating the relationships. How do these interactions influence patterns of distribution and abundance within this ecosystem as a whole?
Slide 9: Conclusion
Summarize your project findings.
Slide 10: References
APA Format
SLP Assignment Expectations
For this SLP assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation that is 1-10 slides in length and addresses the requirements outlined above. Place the text containing the answers to the questions above in the slide area, summarizing each topic using bullet points (in your own words, expand in more detail using the notes area).
Be sure to include citations referencing your sources on each slide (use either the slide or notes area). Include a descriptive title for each slide that describes the topic being discussed. Be sure to include a title slide with your name, assignment type (e.g., SLP Module 3) and course title. Include an introduction slide with the subjects you will cover in outline form. Include a slide summarizing your project findings (Conclusion slide). Your final slide should contain a list of references cited in APA format.
Powerpoint project 2:
For this SLP project, you will research four different species: one that is extinct, one that is critically endangered, one that is endangered and one that is (Threatened) Vulnerable. One species must be a Plant or Fungus, the three remaining species each must be from a different Animal category (Avian, Amphibian, Reptile, Mammal, or Aquatic/Ocean).

Slide 1: Title Slide
Student Name, Course Title, and Date
Slide 2: Introduction
Topics to be covered in outline form
Slide 3: Extinct Species
Research an extinct species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Where does this species live (biome, niche, environment, country)? What is its status on the food chain? When did it go extinct? What was the major cause of its demise?
Slide 4: Critically Endangered Species
Research a critically endangered species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how many are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct? What is the major cause of their future demise?
Slide 5: Endangered Species
Research an endangered species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how many are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct? What is the major cause of their future demise?
Slide 6: Vulnerable Species
Research a vulnerable (threatened) species. Include an image of this species. How many are there left or have reappeared? What is being done to help them come back? What was the cause of their decline or demise?
Slide 7: Ecological Impacts
Discuss what will happen or has happened because of the loss of these species you researched to their environment? (What does it mean to be a keystone/indicator species?) What are the ecological ramifications on the community or habitat of other species in the environment as a result of the decline or loss of these species you researched?
Slide 8: Human Intervention
What are we as a human species doing to stop the loss of these vulnerable species or what did we try to do for those species that became extinct? (Discuss examples such as organization/agency involvement and/or government involvement/education).
Slide 9: Conclusion
Summarize your project findings.
Slide 10: References
List the sources used in APA format.
