Parasitism is a relationship in which one species in the relationship benefits while the other is harmed.Example: Mosquitos and humans. Mosquitos suck our blood for their benefit while we are being harmed by itchy bumps and even diseases.

Mutualism is a relationship in which both species in the relationship benefit.Example: Goby fish and snapping shrimp. The shrimp builds a sand burrow and shares it with the goby fish. The shrimp is almost blind so the goby fish warns the shrimp when danger is coming by flicking its fins, and both go into their burrow

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms involved benefit from the interaction. In contrast, parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other organism (the host). Mutualism is a win-win situation, while parasitism is a win-lose situation.
