Identify the type of symbiotic relationship described in each scenario.

Some wasps lay their eggs on caterpillars called tomato hornworms. When the eggs hatch, the young wasps burrow into the caterpillar’s body and eat it alive. The adult wasps then fly away. This is an example of .

A lichen is an organism made up of an alga and a fungus. The alga supplies energy for itself and the fungus through photosynthesis. The fungus provides a protected space for the alga to live. This is an example of .

Clown fish can swim among the poisonous tentacles of sea anemones without being harmed. The sea anemone protects the clown fish from predators, but gets nothing in return. This is an example of .

Parasitism, mutualism and commensalism

Explanation:

Parasitism is a form of nutritional relationship in which the parasite lives on and obtain its food from the host organism, gradually killing the host in the process.

The wasps can be described as parasitoids, a group of insects whose larva lives as parasite on a host while the young wasps are considered as parasites who lives on and eventually kill the host.

Mutualism is a form of association between two organisms in which the two of them benefits.

In the case of algae and fungi in lichen, the fungus provides habitat for the algae while the algae in turn provides food (through photosynthesis) for the fungi. The relationship is mutually beneficial.

Commensalism is a form of relationship between two organisms in which one, the commensal, benefits while the other, the host, is not affected in any form.

The sea anemones offers protection to the clown fish while being unaffected in any way, be it positive or negative. This is a case of commensalism.
