There are three possibilities:
1. Both benefit
2. Parasite benefits, host gets harmed
3. No effect: both are neutral
It's called a parasitic relationship when one species benefits and one species is harmed. A simbiotic relationship is when both species benefit.
A parasite is an organism which gets all of its energy from another organism without giving anything back. Examples of parasites include animals who suck blood, such as ticks, and plants like mistletoe. Successful parasites leave their hosts alive, but sometimes the parasite makes the host sick.
The relationship between species in which one benefits at the expense of the other is parasitic. An example is a tick attaching itself to an animal and feeding from it.
Parasitism. It is Any relationship between organisms where one is benefited and the other is harmed. With is what a parasite does. Parasite def. Any organism that has its needs met at the expense of another
A symbiotic relationship is when both species need each-other to survive, for example the lynx and the hare. Without the hare the lynx would starve and without the lynx the hare would overpopulate. A parasitic relationship is where one species benefits and one is damaged.
It's called a parasitic relationship when one species benefits and one species is harmed. A simbiotic relationship is when both species benefit.
On the face of it, the relationship does seem to be parasitic, but you must remember that:Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the host.(from Wikipedia)The mother benefits in the long term, because it is propagating the species.
Parasitism is a non mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other. This would be the tick drinking the elephant's blood.
commensalismIn ecology, commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits but the other is unaffected.Malaria is parasitism:Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the host.
It is a parasitic relationship. The organism benefiting is the parasite, while the other organism is the host.
In symbiotic relationship two animals have a understanding between them for food, shelter etc eg. the algae depends upon the fungus for shelter whereas fungus depends upon algae for food.
Biological Interaction Parasite & Host.
yes, because the parasite is taking from the host and the host is not getting anything from it (unless the parasite is taking bad things from the host, which would mean it depends on the species of parasite).

That is called commensalism.
