Question

b. Tentacles fringing the mouth of a sea anemone are used to capture and eat fish. However, the anemone has a special relationship with the clownfish. A clownfish swim out, captures food, and returns to the tentacles, which protects it from predators.

What do we call this kind of relationship?

Answer 1

Host/Parasite

Answer 2

mutualism

Answer 3

Symbiosis / symbiotic relationship.

Each provides something the other needs and neither harms the other, so neither is host or parasite.

Answer 4

you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours

Answer 5

Symbiosis.  It's an interdependency between 2 or more parties that results in a better chance at survival.

Answer 6

If the clownfish is bringing food to the sea anenome, then it is "mutualism."

If the sea anenome isn't benefiting, then it's "commensalism."

The question is unclear about what's going on (tell your teacher that it sucks).
