What is an example of commensalism in an ecosystem, and how does it demonstrate the relationship between two species?
An example of commensalism in an ecosystem is the relationship between a remora fish and a shark. The remora fish attaches itself to the shark's body and benefits by getting a free ride and access to food scraps left by the shark. The shark is not affected by the presence of the remora fish. This demonstrates a one-sided relationship where one species benefits (the remora fish) while the other is neither harmed nor helped (the shark).
Advantages and disadvantages the shark and remora has?
Shark: Advantages include being apex predators with sharp teeth and strong jaws for hunting. Disadvantages include vulnerability to overfishing and habitat destruction. Remora: Advantages include the ability to hitch a ride on larger animals for transportation and protection. Disadvantages include dependency on a host for food and mobility, which can limit independence.

Does a shark beneifit form the relationship with a remora?
No a shark doesn't benefit from the relationship with a remora. When two organisms benefit from their relationship that is known as mutualisim. A remora lays on the surface of the shark catching all the leftover food from the shark. The shark doesn't benefit or get harmed by the remora and this relationship is known as commensalism. There is also parasitism which is when one organism benefits and one is harmed.
What is the symbiotic relationship between the shark and the remora?
Remoras attach themselves to the shark and eat the leftover food remains that they can find. This would fall into the commensalism symbiotic relationship, because the remora is getting its food, and the shark gets no benefit. There are other studies that suggest that the remoras clean parasites from the shark's teeth and perhaps skin. If this is true then it is a mutualism relationship. Remoras eat the parasites off the underside of the shark to keep it healthy and alive. Plus the Remoras get a free meal and protection. A mutualistic symbiotic relationship. the pilot fish clean the shark's teeth and skin, and the shark protects them The remora fish attach to the shark's belly and eat the malignant parasites off it. Also remoras can stick to other organisms such as whales, other big fish and maybe also crocodiles. This would still fall into the category of commensalism.
