Lets See What

You
Remember
#1.
Acacia Plant & Ants
The ants lay eggs on

acacia tree so they get
a nice safe place for
their eggs. The acacia
covers the infected
area with brown flesh
(called a gall.) The
plant has to use
valuable resources to
create the gall.
What symbiotic
relationship is this?
#2. Anemone & Anemone Fish

This fish lives its entire
adult life among the
tentacles of a bulb- tentacle
sea anemone. Anemone
fish do not get stung by the
anemone as would most
other fish so they get
protection from predators.
The fish often drop food
scraps which the anemones
can eat.
What symbiotic
#3 Boxer Crab & Anemones

This Boxer Crab carries a
pair of stinging anemones
in its claws, which it uses
to defend itself from
predators. The anemones
get to move around which
increases their food
supply.
What symbiotic
#4. Shark & Remora

The remora attaches itself
to the shark and saves
energy since it doesnt
have to swim, and it gets to
snack on the sharks kills.
The shark doesnt get
anything.
What symbiotic
#5. Emperor Shrimp & Sea Cucumber

This tiny emperor shrimp is
riding along on the back of a
sea cucumber (a long wormlike starfish relative) while it
crawls along a sandy bottom.
The shrimp gets to travel
around under the protection of
its much larger partner, and
the sea cucumber doesn't seem
to mind.
What symbiotic
#6. Moray Eel & Cleaner Fish

This moray eel has a small fish
cleaning between its teeth. The
eel gets a clean mouth while the
cleaner fish gets a nice meal.
What symbiotic
#7. Cattle & Cattle Egrets

As these cattle walk
around eating grass they
stir up lots of insects. The
egrets hang around and
get a yummy meal of
insects.
What symbiotic
#8. Clown Fish & Anemone

This clown fish swims in
the anemone and gets
protection, since its
predators will get stung.
The anemone is
unaffected.
What symbiotic
#9. Antelope & Ox Bird

This ox bird
hangs out on the
antelope and gets
a delicious meal
of bugs living on
the antelope. The
antelope gets rid
of parasites.
What symbiotic
#10. The phorid fly and the leaf-cutter ant

When leaf-cutter ants are
collecting leaves, a phorid fly
attacks a worker ant and lay its
eggs in the crevice on worker
ant's head. When the eggs hatch,
its larvae burrows into the ant's
body and starts feeding on it from
inside, eventually killing it. While
the host organism doesn't
necessarily die in all the cases, it
does suffer as a result of this
relationship.
What symbiotic
#11. Goby and Alpheid Shrimp

This alpheid shrimp (on
the right) uses its strong
claws like a bulldozer to
create a burrow in the
sand. The shrimp is nearly
blind. It relies upon its
partner, the sharp-eyed
goby, to warn of danger.
When a potential predator
approaches, both animals
disappear quickly into the
burrow
What symbiotic
#12. Wrasse & Batfish

Can you see the two
cleaner wrasses are
removing parasites from
a batfish? One of the
wrasses has entered the
gill slit of the batfish, and
may even enter its
mouth in search of food.
The batfish gets a bath
and the wrasse gets a
meal.
What symbiotic
#13. Hummingbird Moth & Flower

This hummingbird moth is
drinking the nectar of a
flower. The flower gets
pollinated (the moth brings
pollen from other flowers)
and the moth gets a tasty
meal.
What symbiotic
#14. Brown-headed Cowbird

The brown-headed lays
its eggs in the nest of
other birds, making the
host birds take care of its
eggs. The bird's eggs
get a natural readymade shelter by
encroaching upon the
nests of other species.

What symbiotic
#15.
Cattle Egret and Herbivores
This bird is always spotted

beside a herd of animals
grazing over the grasses.
As the huge animals
move around, little flies
and insects dwelling on
the grass are swept aside.
This is food for the Egret,
which is waiting patiently
to gulp them down. With
no loss to the mammal,
for this long-necked bird,
it is all gain!

What symbiotic
#16. Rattle Herb and grasses

The rattle herb attaches
itself on to the roots of
grasses. This makes it
easy for the rattle to
absorb a part of the
nutrients meant for the
grass, sucking it right at
the source.

and give evidence to why it is a symbiotic relationship.
