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).

What do parasitism mutualism and commensalism have in common?

Parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism are all types of symbiotic relationships where two different species interact with each other in a particular way. In parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other. In mutualism, both species benefit from the interaction. In commensalism, one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.


How Are The Three Types Of Symbiotic Relationship Similar?

The three types of symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism) all involve two different species living in close association with each other. They all involve some level of dependence between the species involved, whether it is mutually beneficial (mutualism), beneficial for one species and indifferent for the other (commensalism), or beneficial for one species and harmful for the other (parasitism). These relationships can have important effects on the populations and ecosystems in which they occur.


Three types of symbiosis?

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.


What are some types of biosis?

Some types of biosis include predation, competition, mutualism, and parasitism. Predation involves one organism consuming another for food, competition occurs when organisms compete for resources, mutualism is a mutually beneficial relationship between two organisms, and parasitism involves one organism benefiting at the expense of another.


For each type of symbiotic realtionships explain how the two organisms are affected?

The four types of symbiotic relationships is mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and neutralism. In mutualism, both organisms benefit. In commensalism, one species benefits while they other is unaffected. Parasitism is where one species benefits and the other is harmed. In neutralism neither species is harmed or benefits.
