Answer:

The answer is:

B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.

Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).

Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).

Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).

The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.

Hope this helps! :)

What do many scientists believe about the purpose for asteroids.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Various scientists describe asteroids in different ways:

  • Some scientists consider it to be rocks which orbit around the sun.
  • Other consider it to be small planets.

The majority of the scientists agree that asteroids might have come into existence at the time of solar formation. The parts which broke down during the formation of the solar system resulted in the formation of asteroids.

<u><em>Scientists believe that asteroids might not have a major function in the universe but studying them would be of great benefit. This is because as they are parts broken from the solar system, exploring them will let us know about some unknown features of the other solar system bodies. </em></u>
