    Predation is a biological interaction where a predator feeds on and consumes prey, often resulting in the prey's death. Competition occurs between organisms in the same habitat for limited resources, with weaker organisms being eliminated. Mutualism benefits both participant species through inter-species activities and cooperation. Parasitism is a relationship where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other host species. In commensalism, one species benefits while having no effect on the other.

    In ecology, predation is a biological interaction where a

    predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on , but the


    act of predation often results in the death of its prey and
    the eventual absorption of the prey's tissue through
    consumption

    Competition is a form of interaction between living things. It is the


    basic needs occur between animals and plants. When the basic
    needs become limited, living things that live in the same
    habitat compete with each other for resources. Competition
    causes weaker living things to be eliminated from a habitat, only
    the stronger will survive.

    Mutualism is the way two organisms of different species


    exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits
    from the activity of the other. Similar interactions within a
    species are known as co-operation. Mutualism can be
    contrasted with interspecific competition, in which each
    species experiences reduced fitness, and exploitation, or
    parasitism, in which one species benefits at the expense
    of the other.

    In biology/ecology, parasitism is a non-mutual symbiotic


    relationship between species, where one species, the
    parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.
    Traditionally parasite referred primarily to organisms
    visible to the naked eye, or macroparasites (such as
    helminths). Parasite now includes microparasites, which
    are typically smaller, such as protozoa,[1][2] viruses, and
    bacteria.[

    In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationships


    between two organisms where one organism benefits
    from the other without affecting it. This is in contrast with
    mutualism, in which both organisms benefit from each
    other, amensalism, where one is harmed while the other
    is unaffected, and parasitism, where one benefits while
    the other is harmed.
