Parasitism is what happens when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. For example, think of fleas on a dog. The fleas are parasites because they are benefiting from living on the dog, but the dog is being harmed by the fleas.
That wouldn't be symbiosis. This situation is parasitism.
Symbiosis is a close, prolonged association between two (or more) organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member. The specific biological interactions of symbiosis can be subdivided in three: * Mutualism, where both organisms benefit. * Commensalism, where only one of them benefits, but the other is not affected. * Parasitism, where one benefits and the other organism is harmed.
The three types of symbiosis are... Mutualism: A relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism: A relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither helped nor harmed. Commensalism is not very common in nature because two species are usually either helped or harmed a little by any interaction. Parasitism: A relationship that involves one organism living on or inside another organism and harming it. The organism the benefits is called a parasite, and the organism it lives on or in is called a host. The paraite is usually smaller that the host. In a parasitic relationship, the parasite benefits from the interaction while the host is harmed. Unlike a predator, a parasite does not usually kill the organism it feed on. If the host dies, the parasite loses its source of food.

*parasitism is where one animal is helped while other is harmed* commensalism is where one is helped and other is not really affected mutualism is where both animals are helped

Mutualism-Both organisms benefit Commensalism-One organism benefits, and the other does not benefit or get harmed Parasitism-One organism benefits, and the other is harmed.
This is called symbiosis. There are multiple types of symbiotic relationships: Mutualism - both organisms benefit Commensalism - one organism benefits, the other is neither harmed nor helped Parasitism - one organism benefits, the other is harmed Amensalism - one organism is harmed, the other is neither harmed nor helped
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.

When one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
An interaction in which one organism lives in a close association with another is called symbiosis. There are three types of symbiosis; mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. In mutualism, both species benefit from the association; in parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other; and in commensalism, one species benefits and the other species is neither harmed or helped.
