Name all symbiotic relationships and their definitions.
1) Mutualism: A relationship where both organisms are being benefited
2) Commensalism: A relationship where one organism is being benefited while the other is not being affected
3) Parasitism: A relationship where one organism is being benefited and the other organism is harmed. In this case, the benefited organism would be considered the parasite while the harmed organism would be considered the host
