Compare and contrast mutualism and parasitism.

Although these two may seem somewhat similar, in the broad view, they are two highly different terms.

Mutualism is the equally-beneficial state of the relationship between two organisms. This involves both of the organisms getting their needs sufficed and maintaining a healthy relationship.

Ex. Bee receiving nectar - Flower getting pollinated.

(Hint: Mutualism - Mutually/equally good for both.)

Parasitism is the solo-beneficial state of the relationship between two organisms. This involves only one of the organisms getting their needs sufficed, thus hurting the other organism in the process.

Ex. A flea gets food, shelter, and protection. - Dog feeling itchy, getting blood drawn from themself, and weakening their immune system to foreign substances.

(Hint: Parasitism - One organism acts like a "parasite" to another.)

a. to encourage apoptosis
