Question

is either the shark or the remora harmed by this relationship? which other relationship in model 2 is similar to that between the shark and the remora? read this! symbiotic relationships are identified by how they affect the organisms involved. the three types of sym - biotic relationships are listed below. • mutualism: both organisms benefit from the relationship. • parasitism: one organism benefits and the other is harmed. • commensalism: one organism benefits and there is no effect on the other. 12. using the information from the read this! box, label each of the relationships in model 2 as mutualism, parasitism or commensalism. 13. with your group, choose one of the organism pairs from model 2 and justify why you categorized the relationship as you did.

Explanation:

1. To label the relationships in Model 2, identify if both organisms benefit (mutualism), one benefits and the other is harmed (parasitism), or one benefits and the other is unaffected (commensalism) based on the interactions shown in Model 2.
2. When justifying the categorization of an organism - pair from Model 2, explain how the relationship meets the criteria of mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism. For example, if it's mutualism, describe how both organisms gain something from the relationship.

Answer:

1. Without seeing Model 2, specific labels cannot be provided. But use the definitions of mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism to label each relationship.
2. Without knowing the organism - pairs in Model 2, a specific justification cannot be given. However, choose an organism - pair and explain how it fits the chosen symbiotic relationship type.
