Study Notes
Symbiosis
- Symbiosis refers to the close and often long-term relationship between different species.
Commensalism
- Commensalism is a type of symbiosis where one species benefits and the other is not affected.
- In commensalism, the species that benefits is called the commensal, and the species that is not affected is called the host.
- Definition of commensalism: a symbiotic relationship in which one species derives food or other benefits and the other species is not affected.
Parasitism
- Parasitism is a type of symbiosis where one species benefits and the other is harmed.
- In parasitism, the species that benefits is called the parasite, and the species that is harmed is called the host.
- The science that studies parasitism and parasites is called parasitology.

- Mutualism is a type of symbiosis where both species benefit from each other.
- In mutualism, both species rely on each other for survival or other benefits.
