Parastism- 35°03′09″N 118°10′26″W / 35.0525°N 118.17389°W / 35.0525

Parasitism is a relationship where one of the organism benefits and the other organism is harmed. An example of this in the desert biome is a desert mistletoe getting nutrients from a desert willow. Eventually the mistletoe grows so big that it takes all the nutrients from the desert willow and the desert willow dies.
