No way. Predation benefits the symbiont and harms (kills) the host, or prey. In parasitism, the host may not die, but the symbiont still lowers the host's fitness by, for example, leeching nutrients or blood off of the host.

Mutualism is when both the host and symbiont benefit.

How are mutualism and parasitism similar and different?

Predation and parasitism are similar because they both have one organism feeding on another. The difference is that in predation the organism kills the other ,while in parasitism, the organism feeds on it while letting it live. For example, a lion can't eat an antelope if it lets it live (predation), but a flea can't feed on a dog if the dog isn't alive (parasitism).

Example of symbiosis?

an example of symbiosis is a whale and a barnacle for the barnacle lives on the whale for a while ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a-yo urs doesnot helps sb. there are 3 kinds of symbiosis : parasitism, mutualsim and commensalism if u want to understand this ezly// parasitism = a parasite lives in or on another organism called 'host'(not a monster or sth!ㅡㅡ;)the parasite benefits while the host is harmed. ez way - one is super-good, the other one is super-bad they keep the host alive b/c the host is their habitat and their food supply e.g.)tapeworms, lampreys,disease-causing bacteria, mildews, ruts, smuts and else.. mutualism = another form of symbiosis, two diff types of org. live together to the advantage of each. ez way - one is super-good, either the other ( other one is good too ) e.g.)termites-protists,alga+fungus-linchens, crocodile-bird which eats sth one the crocodiles teeth(i don't remember the name!god!) commensalism = one of the partners is benefited while other is so so ez way - one is super-good, other one not good, not bad just so so e.g.)remora/shark ((i don't know any of these i hope it helped you thank u, ___________________________________________________________________________ oh please is your English that bad? you should seriously check your grammar. any way, you are wrong. it should be: there are 3 kinds of parasitism: symbiosis, mutualsim and commensalism that is what my teacher taught me. _____________________________________________________________________ That isn't right. In a symbiotic,mutualistic, and commensalative relationship, the organisms involved don't have to be parasites Parasitism is a special case of predation. It is not a type of symbiotic relationship. The three main symbiotic relationships are symbiosis, mutualism, and commensalism.
