Answer:

Here are some things to think about:

The Colombian Exchange benefitted the Europeans - they got new foods, raw materials, often free labor (yikes), etc.

The Colombian Exchange DID NOT benefit the Native Americans - they did get some new nicknacks, but also recieved diseases that devastated their populations.
