Understand the definition of symbiosis: it refers to a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms.
Review the types of symbiotic relationships: Mutualism, Parasitism, Commensalism, and Pathogenesis.
Recall that in Mutualism, both organisms involved benefit from the interaction.
Recognize that in Parasitism, one organism benefits at the expense of the other.
Note that in Commensalism, one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed, and Pathogenesis refers to disease-causing interactions.
