There are 3 different types of symbiotic relationships: PARASITISM-organism benefits at the expense of another organism Example: A tapeworm attaches itself inside of an organism(people, animals, etc) and steals the nutrients from food that the host organism eats, leaving the host organism with hardly any or no nutrients at all. The tapeworm benefits, but the host organism is negatively affected. MUTUALISM-both organisms benefit from the relationship Example: A honey bee gets nectar from a flower, the pollon from other flowers that is on the bee gets onto the new flower and fertilizes it. Both bee and flower benefit. COMMENSALISM-organism benefits but other organism is not affected. Example: A remora is a fish that attaches itself to the underside of a shark and feeds on leftover food scraps. The remora benefits, and the shark isn't harmed or helped.
