Parasitism


This is a picture of symbiotic relationship in my community. This particular symbiotic relationship is parasitism where one organism benefits but the other is harmed. This one is where the fleas are living and feeding off the cat, so the fleas are benefiting but the cat is harmed. There are also two other types of symbiotic relationships, mutualism where both benefit and commensilism where one benefits and the other is not harmed or benefited.
