You did a great job identifying the relationships! Here's a breakdown of each one:
1. A tick on a dog: This is an example of parasitism. The tick benefits by feeding on the blood of the dog, while the dog is harmed by the tick's presence and potential diseases it may carry.
2. A lion eating a zebra: This is an example of predation. The lion hunts and eats the zebra, resulting in the zebra's death.
3. A roundworm in a human intestine: This is also an example of parasitism. The roundworm benefits by residing and feeding in the human intestine, which can lead to health issues for the human.
4. A fly living on the back of a rhino: This is an example of commensalism. The fly benefits by having a stable environment and protection from the rhino's movements, but the rhino is neither harmed nor benefited significantly.
5. A clownfish living in coral: This is an example of mutualism. The clownfish benefits by finding shelter and protection among the coral, while the clownfish helps keep the coral clean by removing parasites and debris.
Remember, to determine the relationship between species, it helps to understand how each species interacts and whether it benefits, harms, or remains unaffected by the relationship.
