    The first case would be a symbiotic relationship, such as the fish that clean sharks, or the birds that live in Hippopotamus' mouths.

    The second case would be paracitism. Such as a tick or other paracite

    I'm going to vote for the guy/gal who is directly below me, their answer is correct. But here another two examples:

    Symbiotic relationship: Yellow billed ox-pecker and a buffalo. The ox-pecker obtains food from eating ticks of the buffalo, the buffalo becomes tick free.

    Parasitic: Robert Mugabe and Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe gets to drive a Rolls Royce and go shopping spree's with his wife Grace in France, Zimbabwe is ruined :D
