Answer:
The tail and the caudal fin are the chief locomotory organs of fish and are used for rapid swimming during which tail is lashed from side to side by "alternate contraction and relaxation" of the myomeres on the two sides of the vertebral column.

Answer:
The correct answer would be c. The cell has a greater level of structural support.
Phospholipds are the structural units of a cell membrane. They are consist of two components; hydrphobic lipids and hydrophylic polar heads.
They make a bilayer structure in which polar heads are in contact with water and lipid part are embedded within the layer.
- Lipid bilayer gives the rigidity or shape to the cell.
- It isolates the cell from the sorroundings.
- It is semi-permiable in nature and thus prevents or control the movement of substances across the membrane.
- Being liquid in nature, the cytoplasm would have dispersed in the surrounding in absence of cell membrane.
Hence, most appropriate choice would be c. The cell has a greater level of structural support.
Answer:
Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between the Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical regions of Africa, the crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover flies into its mouth and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover. Instead, he appreciates the dental work. The plover eats a meal and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. Coincidentally, the Egyptian plover is also known as the crocodile bird.
Commensalism: only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind. The remora fish gets a meal, while its host gets nothing. Selfish, sure, but neither gets hurt.
Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) gains, while the other (the host) suffers. The deer tick is a parasite. It attaches to a warmblooded animal and feeds on its blood. Ticks need blood at every stage of their life cycle. They also carry Lyme disease, an illness that can cause joint damage, heart complications, and kidney problems. The tick benefits from eating the animal's blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from the loss of blood and nutrients and may get sick.
