One species may live in close association with another species. If these organisms share resources then this arrangement is called symbiosis. Symbiosis in which both species benefit from the association is called mutualism. If the association is beneficial to one species but neither benefits nor harms the other, it is called commensalism. If one species benefits at the expense of the other, then the relationship is called parasitism. An eel that attaches to the skin of a shark and feeds on its blood is an example of

The term that best describes the general relationship between two organisms in which one benefits and is reliant upon the other organism, however the other is neither harmed nor benefits, is: 1) parasitism. 2) satellitism. 3) synergism. 4) commensalism. 5) symbiosis.

Bacteria living in the gut of termites, receiving protection and nutrients and supplying the termite with enzymes to digest cellulose is an example of commensalism mutualism coevolution competition parasitism
