I agree with Orchid Boy on this one, he's entirely correct.
Lady Vamp- As to symbiosis meaning only relationships benefiting both organisms, that is true in the very strictest sense of it's definition.
However there's a bit of debate on what 'symbiosis' encompasses. Some scientists believe only the strict sense, while others take it as being interactions between organisms, which is the broadest sense. And then there's broad, and broad. For some broad = mutualism, parasitism and commensalism, while others also add in neutalism, amensalism, competition and in some extreme cases, predation.
