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.
