Answer 2

Commensalism is a type of relationship where one of the organisms benefits greatly from the symbiosis. The other is not helped but is not harmed or damaged from the relationship. In other words, this is a one-sided symbiotic relationship.

In parasitism, one organism benefits from the relationship but at the expense of the other. The organism may live inside the other's body or on its surface. In some of these parasitic relationships the host dies and in others, it is important that the host remain alive.

Mutualism is a close relationship where both parties benefit. Both species will benefit from the relationship and many of these relationships are ling-lasting.
