the remora cleans the shark and it takes the leftovers from the sharks food
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.
The remora benefits from the shark by hitching a ride, feeding on scraps of the shark's meals, and gaining protection from potential predators. The shark is not directly affected by the remora but may benefit indirectly by having the remora remove parasites from its skin.
to feel cool....the sharks are the jocks of the ocean and the remoras are there because they are groupies and to have friends...other crap and i guess iffu wanna be "scientifereic" they freeload off them, for food and esier moving
Sharks and remoras don't really live together. Remoras are suckerfish. Remoras just attach themselves to the sharks. When sharks catch their pray, The remora who is attached to the shark eats the leftovers. Sometimes remoras attach themselves to scuba divers.
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.
the shark provides the remora with protection from predators and a food sorce ( i only know this because im a fish maniac)
REMORA IS SMALL AND IS NOT REALLY HARM full then shark but shark doesnt and never eats remora . and remora never eats shark ( this is th e answer i am a diver that's why i think it is correct
The commensalism between a shark and a remora benefits the remora and does not harm the shark. The remora is able to obtain food from the shark as it drops food while it eats.
Sharks do not tend to mind these parasites sticking to them all the time, remoras just stick to sharks to either get around or to eat the dirt off them. Remoras are streamlined so that it will not affect the shark's swimming.

Yes, the remora fish uses its sucker on top of its head to attach itself to the bottom of the shark thereby the shark is protecting the remora from predators.
Remora
Remora -
Commensalistic
Mutalistic Relationship, both are benefiting. The shark is getting cleaned and groomed while the remora is getting fed and transported. Remoras have suction pads that can stick onto the shark. The Remora gets transported by the shark without the shark attacking.
As a matter of fact, Yes they do. Pilot Fish, shark sucker fish or Remora have a symbiotic relationship. The smaller fish get food and the shark gets cleaned.
