Answer
5) Identify as examples of Symbiosis (parasitism, commensalism, mutualism, predator/prey)a. **Parasitism** - Lampreys are eels that attach to lake trout with their tooth-lined mouth, eventually killing the trout. (The lamprey benefits at the expense of the trout.)b. **Mutualism** - Cleaner fish of all kinds will swim into the mouth of Moray Eels and clean the eel's mouth of parasites and trapped food. (Both the cleaner fish and the eel benefit.)c. **Mutualism** - The lichen is a symbiosis of a fungus with algae living inside of it. The fungi provide a moist place for the algae to live. In return, the algae provide food for both through photosynthesis. (Both the fungus and the algae benefit.)d. This example is not related to symbiosis. It describes a situation of academic dishonesty or freeloading, but it doesn't represent a biological relationship between species.e. **Mutualism** - A group of Mongooses has a gourmet meal of insects on a large Warthog. The Warthog lays there with joy as the Mongoose clears the insects from its body. (Both the mongooses and the warthog benefit.)
