Here's a breakdown:
* Parasite: The organism that benefits from the relationship.
* Host: The organism that is harmed.
Some examples of parasitism include:
* Ticks on a dog: The tick feeds on the dog's blood, causing discomfort and potential disease.
* Tapeworms in humans: The tapeworm lives in the human intestines and absorbs nutrients from its host.
* Mistletoe on a tree: Mistletoe obtains water and nutrients from the tree, weakening it.
