Question

Algae grows on manatee's skin. The manatee is not affected, Is it commensalism, mutualism, parasitism, or predation?

Answer 1

In this scenario, where algae grows on a manatee's skin but does not affect the manatee, it can be categorized as commensalism. Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits (in this case, the algae), while the other organism (the manatee) is neither harmed nor helped.
