Parasitic.
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.
Commensalism
Commensalism is a type of ecological relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. It is a form of symbiosis where one species benefits from the relationship without affecting the other. An example of commensalism is a barnacle attaching itself to a whale for transportation and protection without harming the whale.
A parasite is an organism which gets all of its energy from another organism without giving anything back. Examples of parasites include animals who suck blood, such as ticks, and plants like mistletoe. Successful parasites leave their hosts alive, but sometimes the parasite makes the host sick.
Mutualism is the interaction between two species that is beneficial to both. Therefore the antonym would be competition, which is an interaction where both species are 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.
*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
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.
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.
