a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits is called ?
You must use the words correctly - parasitism is not "a form of symbiosis", because sysmbiosis quite specifically means that both parties benefit, so the word cannot include parasitism.
that's what the book says tho
*though
Is it a MC question?

Hello?
I found the answer sorry I was working
commensalism?
@Joedewise Actually, the most correct form of the term "symbiosis" is simply two or more organisms that live in some form of a close relationship. There are at least three types of symbioses, though there is a fourth one that makes zero sense really. The three most common are: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Fitness consequences define the relationships and some consider mutualism to be reciprocal parasitism.
@kimberlymeade98 Oh, you still have an issue because the type of symbiosis depends on fitness effects to all parties involved.
