Question

A species of snapping turtles has a tongue that resembles a worm. The tongue is used to attract small fish. Which best describes the interaction between the fish and the snapping turtle?

Answer 1

Predation

Step-by-step explanation:

Predation is a biological interaction where one organism kills and eats another organism.

The organism that kills and eats is called the predator while the organism that is killed and eaten is called the prey.

In this case, the snapping turtle is the predator which uses a bait (the tongue that resembles a worm) to attract the small fish. The small fish is simply a prey in this case.
