Question

a tick sucks blood from a dog and a tapeworm steals nutrition from the host that it lives in. this type of symbiosis, where one species benefits and the other is harmed, is called... a. parasitism b. mutualism c. commensalism d. predator - prey

Explanation:

Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship where one organism (parasite) benefits and the other (host) is harmed. A tick on a dog and a tapeworm in a host are examples of parasites. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit, commensalism is when one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed, and predator - prey is not a symbiotic relationship in the same sense as these three.

Answer:

A. Parasitism
