Identify the relationships between the zooxanthellae and the hard coral, the remora and the manta ray, the tiger shark and the green sea turtle, and the dolphin and the school of trevallies and state why you chose that relationship. The relationships will be predation, competition, commensalism, or mutualism.

Commensalism - a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped.

Mutualism - a relationship between two living organisms where both benefit from one another

Predation - a relationship between two living organism where one eats the other

Competition - a relationship between two living organism where one wants to outdo the other

Zooxanthellae and hard coral - mutualism ; zooxanthellae, a symbiotic algae, provide necessary nutrients for the corals while corals provide protection and serves as zooxanthellae habitat
remora and manta ray - mutualism ; remora cleans the skin of manta ray of parasites (copepods) and epidermal tissues while manta ray provides transport and protection.
tiger shark and green sea turtle - predation ; green sea turtle is food for tiger shark
dolphin and school of trevallies - competition ; dolphins can hunt alone while trevallies must hunt in groups or school

Explanation:

Zooxanthellae and hard coral have a mutualism relationship. Zooxanthellae provide necessary nutrients for the corals while corals provide protection and serves as zooxanthellae habitat. Remora and manta ray have a mutualism relationship also. Remora cleans the skin of manta ray of parasites (copepods) and epidermal tissues while manta ray provides transport and protection. Tiger shark and green sea turtle have a predation relationship. The green sea turtle is food for tiger shark. Dolphin and school of trevallies have a competition relationship. Dolphins can hunt alone while trevallies must hunt in groups or school.
