Parasitism


Definition: parasitism is a relationship between two organisms in which one benefits from and the other is negatively affected.

Connection: the holes in the leaves show that another organism has been feeding off of this particular plant. This is an example of parasitism because the organism feeding off the plant benefits because it now has a source of food, while the plant is negatively affected because it is being eaten.
