The relationship between a termite and Trichonympha is an example of mutualism (a form of symbiosis). The Trichonympha lives in the gut of the termite and eats and digests the wood that the termite eats. Both species (termite and Tryconympha) are benefited: The termite can eat wood because the trichonymhpa eat its, and the trichonympha gets food.

The relationship between a human and Entamoeba histoytica is an example of parasitism (a form of symbiosis). The E. histolytica is a parasite that lives in a human’s gut. The human is harmed because E. histolytica causes dysentery, but the E. histoytica is benefited because it has a place to live and nutrients.

A lichen is an example of a symbiotic relationship (specifically commensalism) between two different species: an alga and a fungus. The alga and the fungus live in a close relationship together. They are both benefitted: The alga is protected and supported by the fungus, and the fungus gets its nutrients through the alga’s photosynthesis.

Mycorrhiza is another example of a symbiotic relationship (specifically, commensalism) between two species: a plant and a fungus. The fungus attaches itself to the roots of a plant and the two live in a close symbiotic relationship. They are both benefited: the fungus receives nutrients from the roots, and the plant receives minerals from the fungus.

I hope I helped! 🙂

Here’s an extensive definition with a few examples: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent591k/symbiosis.html

Here is a rather exhaustive list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_symbiotic_relationships
