Question

the table below describes the symbiotic relationships between three different pairs of organisms. drag the name of the relationship to the box next to the correct description. a roundworm lives in the intestines of a pig eating the pig’s food and depriving the pig of essential nutrients. the sea anemone provides a home for clownfish and the clownfish brings food for the sea anemone. the remora fish attaches itself to sharks for protection and to eat the shark’s leftover food. the remora does not harm the shark. draggables: commensalism, parasitism, mutualism

Explanation:

1. For the roundworm and pig: The roundworm benefits by eating the pig's food, while the pig is harmed (deprived of nutrients). This fits Parasitism (one benefits, the other is harmed).
2. For sea anemone and clownfish: Both benefit (anemone gets food, clownfish gets a home). This is Mutualism (both benefit).
3. For remora and shark: Remora benefits (protection, food), shark is neither helped nor harmed. This is Commensalism (one benefits, the other is unaffected).

Answer:

• A roundworm lives in the intestines of a pig eating the pig’s food and depriving the pig of essential nutrients: Parasitism
• The sea anemone provides a home for clownfish and the clownfish brings food for the sea anemone: Mutualism
• The remora fish attaches itself to sharks for protection and to eat the shark’s leftover food. The remora does not harm the shark: Commensalism
