Answer 1

for protection

for access to food to help other animals

to live off of a host

Step-by-step explanation:

Commensal relationship is a type of symbiotic association between two organisms in which one gets benefits while the other organism gets neither benefit nor harm.

Answer 2

for transportation

for protection

for access to food

to live off of a host

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms enter commensal relationship primarily for benefits such as transportation, protection, access to food, habitat, and so on.

Commensalism is a form of relationship between two organisms in which one of them (the commensal) gains some benefits and the other is unaffected in any form.

The benefits a commensal derives from commensalism could be nutritionally, transport, protection or habitat related. E.g the remora and the shark relationship in which the remora attaches itself to the shark and derives its food from the leftover foods of the shark as well as gets transported around in the process.
