Detailed explanation-1: -Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which at least one species benefits. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected.

Detailed explanation-2: -Commensalism happens when one species lives with, on, or in another species, known as the host. The host species neither benefits nor is harmed from the relationship. In our imagined example, various species of barnacles attach themselves to the skin of whales.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parasitism. A symbiotic relationship in which a symbiont lives all or part of its life in or on a living host, usually benefiting while harming the host in some way and usually having a higher reproductive potential than the host.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit, but in a synergistic relationship both organisms are harmed. In a synergistic relationship, the organisms cannot survive without each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -A close relationship between two different organisms from which at least one of the organisms benefits is called symbiosis. Symbiosis can be broadly classified into mutualism, commensalism, amensalism, parasitism, and predation.
