What is a relationship when one organism lives with another and at least one benefits?
Mutually beneficial relationship means that each separate organism benefits from the relationship in one way or another. In general, this concerns no negative side effects in which case it would be a parasitic relationship or whatever else there is. This can be applied to organisms such as trees, insects, animals, fungi, and of course humans. One major mutually beneficial relationship could be a [good] marriage -- I'll let you discover the different forms of benefits associated with that. To talk about organisms other than humans, there are birds who live off the backs of tortoises who pull old detritus from their skin. This benefits the birds because it feeds them, and it benefits the tortoises because they're better off from it. There are also plenty of bacteria within the human digestive tract. These bacteria exist, obviously, to serve their own lifeforce through the food we eat. However, they help us to digest otherwise unusable portions of our food, and hence, we benefit too.
What do parasitism do?
They attach on to another organism and live and feed off it. They benefit but their host (the organism that they live on) doesn't. Actually, parasites result in harm to the host.
