Understand the definitions of the terms provided: Competition, Mutualism, Parasitism, and Commensalism.
Competition: This occurs when two species compete for the same resources, such as food or habitat, and both are negatively affected.
Mutualism: This is a relationship where both species benefit from the interaction.
Parasitism: This is a relationship where one species (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other species (the host), which is harmed.
