Answer 1

Hermit crabs eat microscopic animals, limpets may be eaten by starfish and shore-birds, algae may be eaten by anything that floats by, sea urchins eat algae, and chitons and limpets may also be eaten by starfish and shore-birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match the statements with the pairs, let's consider the various feeding behaviors and relationships of marine organisms as well as their classification.

• Hermit crabs are known for establishing mutualistic relationships with sea anemones, which attach to the hermit crab's shell and feed on food particles from prey caught by the crab.
• Limpets, which are aquatic snails, may be eaten by a variety of predators, including starfish and shore-birds.
• Algae is a primary source of food for many marine species, including sea urchins which are grazers that mostly feed on algae covering coral and rocks.
• Chitons and limpets, both types of gastropods, provide food for several marine animals, including the aforementioned predators like starfish.

With this in mind, we can match the statements with the following pairs:

1. Hermit crab eats microscopic animals.
2. Limpet may be eaten by starfish, shore-birds.
3. Algae may be eaten by anything that floats by.
4. Sea urchin eats algae.
5. Chitons and limpets may be eaten by starfish, shore-birds.
