Commensalism is similar to parasitism, except the host doesn't get hurt. Examples of this are mites which feed on the wasted parts of the body of an animal like skin flakes and hair, not hurting the host, but doesn't benefit the host either.
Commensalism
Mutualism is when both organisms benefit. Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is unharmed. Parasitism is when one organism benefits while the other is harmed in some way,
Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits (the commensal) while the other is unaffected. The organism that benefits may gain protection, transportation, or access to resources, while the other organism neither benefits nor is harmed.
A relationship between one or more organisms which can be beneficial to each other, but not essentially so are called Symbiotic.The Symbiosis where one organism benefits, and one is unharmed, or unaffected is called commensalism.
The relationship is called commensalism. In this type of relationship, one organism benefits from the association while the other is neither harmed nor benefited. For example, barnacles attaching themselves to a whale for transportation.
A natural relationship in which one organism lives in or on another organism and benefits from the relationship while the other organism may be harmed is a parasitic relationship.
parasitism
parasitism
When a parasite lives within another organism. The parasite benefits while the other organism is harmed.
Commensalism: a relationship in which one organism benefits while the other organism is neither helped nor harmed
This is called parasitism.
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits, while the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
Commensalism is a type of relationship where one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. In contrast, parasitism is a relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of the other, which is harmed.
Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped. One organism (the commensal) benefits from the relationship, while the other (the host) is unaffected.
Commensalism
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.
*parasitism is where one animal is helped while other is harmed* commensalism is where one is helped and other is not really affected mutualism is where both animals are helped
