The relationship you are referring to is known as parasitism in ecology. In parasitism, one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other organism, the host, which is harmed. This relationship is common in nature and can be found in various ecosystems, with parasites ranging from bacteria to larger organisms like ticks and tapeworms.
An Ecological relationship is an relation between animals and their habitatTheir are 5 major ecological relationships:MUTUALISM: both living together with mutual benefit or both organisms benefited.PREDATION: The species was eating another organisms( their prey)PARASITISM: where in one organism is harmed and the other is benefited, the one that is harmed may die and the one benefited is a parasite.COMMENSALISM: where in only one of the organisms is benefited and the other is unaffected.COMPETITION: In which the organisms compete for each other to live.
This type of relationship is known as commensalism. In commensalism, one species benefits, while the other is neither helped nor harmed. An example of this is barnacles attaching to a whale; the barnacles gain mobility to access nutrients in different waters, while the whale is largely unaffected by their presence.
commensalism
when a organism is helped or harmed you call it a parasite
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
A relationship where one organism is benefited and the other is harmed is calledPARASITISM
A relationship where one organism is benefited and the other is harmed is calledPARASITISM
Commensalism is the relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits while the other is neither benefited nor harmed. An example of this is the relationship between barnacles and whales, where barnacles attach themselves to the whale's skin and gain protection and transportation, while the whale is not significantly affected.
Predation or parasitism. One species benefits whilst the other is disadvantaged
This type of symbiotic relationship is called commensalism.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits, while the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
parasitism
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
