Detailed explanation-1: -Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other species (the host) is harmed.
Detailed explanation-2: -A parasitic relationship is one in which one organism, the parasite, lives off of another organism, the host, harming it and possibly causing death. The parasite lives on or in the body of the host. A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Commensalism is a relationship between species in which one benefits and the other is unaffected. Humans are host to a variety of commensal bacteria in their bodies that do not harm them but rely on them for survival (e.g. bacteria that consume dead skin).
