Clown fish are often found swimming within the tentacles of sea anemone whereas other fish avoid them at almost all cost. Which statement below is the best explanation for this observation? The spicules of the sea anemone cannot penetrate a slime layer surrounding a clown fish but other fish do that have that neutralizing slime layer. Clown fish are good at maneuvering between the spines of the sea anemone and use them for camouflage. Clown fish are attracted to the cnidocytes of the sea anemone as their source of food. Clown fish are immune to the sting of the nematocyst of the sea anemone but other fish are not.

Barnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whales neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles. Barnacles follow r selection strategies. How would the interaction between barnacles and whales be described? a) Commensalism b) Competition c) Mutualism d) Parasitism

Bats mostly hunt insects at night. They are able to determine the distance and speed of any prey they are chasing, which has helped them to become excellent nocturnal predators. One potential prey, the tiger moth, has developed two separate methods of evading predation. First, tiger moths emit a toxin that is distasteful to bats, birds, and most other vertebrate predators. Second, they use an organ called a "tymbal" to create a series of high-pitched clicks that only bats can hear, and which identify the tiger moths as something the bats don't like to eat. Bats who prey on tiger moths discover they don't taste very good, learn to identify tiger moths by their clicks, and avoid eating them. Use this information to answer the questions below. Question 1: The scenario above describes a distinct evolutionary interaction. What is it?Can you explain? Question 2: Why is it necessary for the moth to produce both a tymbal click and a toxin? Why not just a toxin? Do you think there are…
