Question

A tapeworm attaches to the inner intestinal wall of a black bass and absorbs nutrients from the fish's food. What is the relationship between the tapeworm and the bass?
A. The tapeworm is the parasite, and the black bass is the host.
B. The tapeworm is the prey, and the black bass is the predator.
C. The tapeworm benefits from the black bass, but does not cause harm.
D. The tapeworm and the black bass both benefit from their relationship.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

in a relationship a parasite is described as the member who greatly benefits in the relationship at the other's expense.

Like riding a stubborn horse, when it bucks you off, it gets the pleasure from doing so, but you end up with a broken foot.

The host is who hosts the other, and the tapeworm is attaching itself to a host so the answer must be A

cannot be b since no proof of that relationship, in both c and d the bass is caused harm so it is not mutual or beneficial to the bass in any way

i hope this helps u!
