The symbiotic relationship between detritus and snails is primarily one of mutual benefit. Snails feed on detritus, which consists of decomposing organic matter and microorganisms, providing them with essential nutrients. In turn, snails help break down this material further, facilitating decomposition and nutrient cycling in their ecosystem. This interaction supports soil health and promotes the growth of plants by enhancing nutrient availability.
Biotic factors for a snail include predators like birds or rodents, competition with other snails or organisms for food and habitat, and symbiotic relationships with microorganisms that aid in digestion or protection.
Abiotic factors for a snail include temperature, sunlight, and moisture levels in its environment. Biotic factors would be other organisms in its ecosystem such as predators, prey, and symbiotic relationships with bacteria.
A carnivore snail primarily feeds on other smaller animals like insects or other snails, while a herbivore snail primarily feeds on plants or algae. Carnivore snails have specialized feeding structures, like a radula for scraping flesh, while herbivore snails have radulas adapted for rasping plant material.
A snail in Hindi is called 'घोंघा'
CAN SNAIL PRODUCED carbon that can reacted with bromothymol
Snail shells are formed biologically as the snail grows up. Hermit crabs occupy empty shells and other containers, instead.
A hermit crab and a snail have a symbiotic relationship where the hermit crab uses the empty shell of the snail as its protective home. The hermit crab benefits from the shelter provided by the snail's abandoned shell, while the snail is unaffected by this interaction as it has already vacated the shell. This relationship is an example of commensalism, where one organism benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped.
The Catseye sea snail is a filter feeder that feeds on Microlagae, detritus, and small algae.e.g. Coralline, Neptune's necklace.
Fluke eggs are consumed by snails, where they hatch and develop into larvae. The larvae then leave the snail and infect other hosts to continue their life cycle. This relationship benefits the flukes by providing a suitable environment for their development, and benefits the snails by potentially reducing parasite load.
the periwinkle snail eats the algae that grows on the cord grass.the periwinkle snail also uses the cord grass as a place to hide from predators.
Well, honey, snails and wombats have a mutual agreement going on. The snails hitch a ride on the wombat's back, getting a free lift to new feeding grounds. In return, the snails keep the wombat's fur clean and free of pests. It's like a little spa day for the wombat, courtesy of its slimy buddies.
What I know of that is hermit crabs will eat snails. However, hermit crabs will often use an empty shell of a sea snail.
The Banff Springs snail is a small, rare snail found only in the hot springs of Banff National Park in Canada. It eats periphyton, which is a mix of algae, detritus, and various microbes and bacteria that typically covers the rocks and other surfaces under water.

well mostly the difference between crabs and hermit crabs is that one is not born with a shell and one is. Also hermit crabs tend to be smaller
This would generally be viewed as a symbiotic or mutual relationship. The anemone benefits by being transported to different locations, some of which may be richer in food supply. The crab benefits from the camouflage the anemone provides, the partial protection of having a stinging anemone in close proximity and also from pieces of food which the anemone may drop.
