Answer 1

Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. In this interaction, the commensal species gains some advantage, such as food, shelter, or transportation, while the host organism remains unaffected. An example of commensalism is barnacles attaching to the shell of a turtle or whale; the barnacles benefit from being transported to different feeding areas while the turtle or whale is not negatively impacted.
