Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A community’s population lives together by interacting among themselves and following various symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic relationships are of three types, namely, mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. In these, both species get benefited, only one gets benefited, and one gets benefited while other is harmed, respectively.

- Which of the following rows correctly describes the difference between predation and parasitism? Select one: a. Predation Parasitism The host species is killed to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. b. Predation Parasitism The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species. The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. c. Predation Parasitism The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. d. Predation Parasitism The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species.
