Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In mutualism, 2 or more organisms are engaged that are reliant on each other for the survival, and both organisms' benefit, whereas in commensalism, two or more organisms are involved who are not reliant on each other for the survival, and only 1 organism benefits while the other partner does not harm.
