B

C

D
Amensalism
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of symbiosis, which refers to a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms.
Identify the different types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and amensalism.
Define parasitism: a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other organism (the host), which is harmed.
Compare parasitism with mutualism, where both organisms benefit, and commensalism, where one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Recognize that in amensalism, one organism is inhibited or destroyed while the other remains unaffected, which is different from parasitism where the host is specifically harmed.
