Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In competition, both species are trying to use the same resource and therefore, both are harmed to some degree as they have to expend energy to obtain the resource, which may be limited. In contrast, in predation, one species (the predator) benefits by obtaining food, while the other (the prey) is harmed by being killed and eaten. Mutualism benefits both species, commensalism benefits one species and has no effect on the other, and parasitism benefits one species (the parasite) and harms the other (the host).
