Here's a breakdown:
* Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) benefits by living in or on another organism (the host), causing harm to the host.
Examples of Parasitism:
* Ticks on a dog: The tick feeds on the dog's blood, harming the dog by potentially transmitting diseases.
* Tapeworms in a human: The tapeworm lives in the human's intestines, absorbing nutrients from the host and causing health problems.
* Mistletoe on a tree: The mistletoe draws water and nutrients from the tree, potentially weakening it.
