Parasitism is what happens when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. For example, think of fleas on a dog. The fleas are parasites because they are benefiting from living on the dog, but the dog is being harmed by the fleas.
True. In all forms of symbiosis, at least one organism benefits from the relationship. This can include mutualism, where both organisms benefit, or commensalism, where one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
The opposite of symbiosis is parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other. In symbiosis, both organisms benefit from the relationship.
The type of symbiosis where one organism benefits while the other is harmed is called parasitism. In this relationship, the parasite derives nutrients and advantages at the expense of the host, which may suffer negative effects such as disease, reduced fitness, or even death. Examples include ticks feeding on mammals or tapeworms living in the intestines of their hosts.
A symbiotic organism can benefit or be harmed in a relationship depending on the nature of the interaction. For example, in a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit, while in a parasitic relationship, one organism benefits at the expense of the other.
symbiosis or a symbiotic relationship

Mutualism-Both organisms benefit Commensalism-One organism benefits, and the other does not benefit or get harmed Parasitism-One organism benefits, and the other is harmed.
This is called symbiosis. There are multiple types of symbiotic relationships: Mutualism - both organisms benefit Commensalism - one organism benefits, the other is neither harmed nor helped Parasitism - one organism benefits, the other is harmed Amensalism - one organism is harmed, the other is neither harmed nor helped
That wouldn't be symbiosis. This situation is parasitism.
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.

The opposite of symbiosis is parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other. In symbiosis, both organisms benefit from the relationship.
Mutualism: Both species involved benefit from the relationship. Commensalism: One species benefits while the other is not significantly harmed or helped. Parasitism: One species benefits at the expense of the other, which is harmed.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
A symbiotic organism can benefit or be harmed in a relationship depending on the nature of the interaction. For example, in a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit, while in a parasitic relationship, one organism benefits at the expense of the other.
Commensalism benefits one organism and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
