  • Parasitism: Understanding Harmful Organism Relationships
    The relationship where one organism is harmed is called parasitism.

    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.
