Use the food web to answer the question

The seal (letter F) is what level(s) of consumer?

Categorize the descriptions as commensalism, mutualism and parasitism

  • Relationship where one benefits and the other has no effect.
  • Relationship where both the organisms benefits
  • Relationship where one benefits and the other is harmed.
  • Remora fish hitching a ride with a whale while enjoying the whale's protection
  • Clown fish lives in sea anemone. The clown fish gets protection from predetors while the anemone gets nutrients and becomes parasite free because of the clown fish.

  • Isopods enter through the gills of the clown fish as larvae, and attach themselves to the base of the fish's tongue. The isopods suck blood out of the tongue, which eventually withers - at which point the parasite becomes its permanent replacement.

  • Commensalism
  • Mutualism
  • Parasitism
