The various types of symbosis include: 1  parasitism-one species (parasite) benefits more than the other species (host). 2  commensalism-one species benefits while a second species is neither helped nor injured. 3  mutualism-both species benefit from the interaction.he various types of symbosis include: 1  parasitism-one species (parasite) benefits more than the other species (host). 2  commensalism-one species benefits while a second species is neither helped nor injured. 3  mutualism-both species benefit from the interaction.
Many different types of energy can be converted into heat energy. Light, electrical, mechanical, chemical, nuclear, sound and thermal energy itself can each cause a substance to heat up by increasing the speed of its molecules.
In a typical lightning strike, 500 megajoules of electric potential energy is converted into the same amount of energy in other forms, mostly light energy, sound energy and thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy of microscopic constituents of matter, which may include both kinetic and potential energy.
