Below are examples of different types of Symbiosis. Using these examples, come up with the examples you require.

Quote:
Examples of metabiosis, (and Commensalism), are hermit crabs using gastropod shells to protect their bodies and spiders building their webs on plants.
Quote:
An example of a biotrophic relationship, (and Parasitism), would be a tick feeding on the blood of its host
Quote:
An example of mutual symbiosis, (and Mutualism), is the relationship between the ocellaris clownfish that dwell among the tentacles of Ritteri sea anemones. The territorial fish protects the anemone from anemone-eating fish, and in turn the stinging tentacles of the anemone protect the clownfish from its predators. A special mucus on the clownfish protects it from the stinging tentacles
