Detailed explanation-1: -Parasitism is a relationship from which the parasite benefits and the other organism is more or less harmed. In this example, a tick living on the body of a deer is parasite because tick has some benefits and deer is harmed. A tick is a parasite that sucks blood and can transmit many dangerous diseases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of parasitic symbiosis include: Fleas and mosquitoes feed on blood from other organisms. In this type of parasitic relationship, the host needs to stay alive and it is not damaged greatly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Predation-a predator/prey relationship. Parasitism-a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed. Mutualism-a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit. Commensalism-a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected. One species typically uses the other for a purpose other than food. For example, mites attach themselves to larger flying insects to get a “free ride.” Hermit crabs use the shells of dead snails for homes.
