How much of the energy is
released when one species eats
another?
An example of ___________ can be observed between
barnacles and whales. Barnacles are normally sessile, or
non-moving sea creatures. They rely on currents to bring
food past them in order to eat. However, some barnacles
have attached themselves to the sides of various sea life,
such as whales, in order to have a more advantageous
position in life. These barnacles benefit by receiving
transportation all over the ocean, which exposes them to
more currents and feeding opportunities than they would
normally experience. The whale neither benefits nor is
harmed by the barnacles.
