Explanation / Answer
33) Clownfish live amongst the stinging tentacles of sea anemone. They keep the sea anemone tentacles clean by eating the debris, and they gain protection from other animals by living in the tentacles ? - Mutualism.
34) A kestrel (small hawk) and red-tailed hawk hunt for rodents in the same grassy meadow - Interspecific competition.
Interspecific competition is a form of competition in which individuals of different species compete for the same resources in an ecosystem.
35) Epiphytes are plants that live on the branches or trunks of trees in the tropics. The epiphyte gains access to water and sunlight, but does not hurt or help the tree - Commensalism.
Commensalism is a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting to each other
36) Your housecat kills the mice in your yard and around your house - Predation.
Predation is an interaction where a predator feeds on its prey. Predators may or may not kill their prey prior to feeding on it.
37) A tiny fish called a wrasse lives in and around the mouth of sharks. It cleans up the debris left after the shark eats flesh, and it gains protection by living in the shark’s mouth - Mutualism.
Mutualism is the relationship bewtween two organisms of different species,which each individual benefits from the activity of the other.
38) Fleas live in and on household pets - Parasitism.
Parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite lives on or in another organism, the host and causes some harm and is adapted this way of life.
39) ?Sea lampreys attach themselves to fish such as trout - Parasitism.
40) The Owl Butterfly is native to Costa Rica. Its hindwings have patterns in the shape and size of the eyes of a large owl - Mimicry.
Mimicry is a similarity of one organism to another, which are evolved because the resemblance is selectively favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver and can respond to both.
