(a) Organism 1 can supply shared metabolites while its growth remains unaffected: This is known as commensalism interaction. (b) Species 2 is parasitic to species 1, and this relationship is termed parasitism. (c) Species 2 cannot survive in the absence of species 1 with just the concentration from the environment (d) Species 2 can survive by utilizing the supplied metabolites from both the environment and species 1.
