Answer

Symbiosis describes a relationship in which both parties benefit. It has been theorized that eukaryotic cells evolved from a symbiotic relationship in which one prokaryote engulfed another. The engulfed cell gained protection from the environment, while the engulfing cell gained an energy source from the engulfed cell.

Commensalism describes a relationship in which one party benefits and the other is neither helped, nor harmed. Parasitism describes a relationship in which one party benefits, while the other is harmed. Amensalism describes a relationship in which one party is unaffected, while the other party is obliterated. Synnecrosis is a relationship that is deadly to both parties involved.
