In mutualism, both organisms benefit. In commensalism, one benefits and the other is unaffected; in parasitism, one benefits and the other is harmed. Some of these relationships are so close that we speak of the composite of two species as one unit; for example, we speak of the composite of algae and fungi as lichens.n commensalism, one benefits and the other is unaffected; in parasitism, one benefits and the other is harmed.

Symbiosis is a close relationship between two or more different species. There are three types of symbiosis we will discover: CommensalismâA relationship where one species obtains food or shelter from the other species. Does not harm or help the other species. MutualismâA relationship where both species benefit from the relationship. Parasitism-- A relationship between two species in which one species (the parasite) nourishes itself to the disadvantage of the other species (the host).
