Is it beneficial for the parasite to kill its host?
It is rare, but yes sometimes. A few parasites don't directly kill their host, but make them do "careless things" that make it more likely the host will get eaten by the parasite's next host.
Why are all fungi parasites?
It grows and lives on a host. Since the host provides the nutrients for life and the fungus grows off of that, it makes it a parasite. more info http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parasite
Why do parasites in harm but not kill their host?
By definition a parasite is harmful. Any number of diseases that you can think of caused by bacteria, viruses, worms, lice or amoebae are parasites. Their job is not to live with you but to use you as a source of food and to make more parasites like themselves. Some parasites do live a long time on you or in you but they always cause harm.
What are organisms which live on or inside the bodies of other living things?
internal parasites. like Tape worm , pin worm and many more. also some bacterias and virus can dwell inside the body and used the host as a means of reproducing itself.
Are there more types of animalcules?
is an older term of microscopic animal or protozoan
Do parasites ever have more than one host?
FALSE!

Name some parasites?
There are so many parasites which include ticks, tapeworm, liver fluke, rust, hookworm and so many more. These are organisms that gain nutrients at the expense of the host.
Is a roundworm a consumer?
Round worms are consumers, not producers. More specifically, they are internal parasites that feed off of their host for nutrients.

Do protozoans that are parasites have more than one host?
Yes. Many of these parasites have more than one hosts. For example, Plasmodium is a protozoan that causes malaria, disease of the blood. Two hosts are involved in Plasmodium's life cycle--humans and a species of mosquitoes found in tropical areas. The disease spreads when a healthy mosquito bites a person with malaria, becomes infected, and then bites a healthy person. Symptoms of malaria include high fevers that alternate with severe chills. These symptoms can last for weeks, then disappear, only to reappear a few months later CREDITS TO: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER
What is the parasitic adaptation?
the ecological-evolutionary viewpoint. Parasite is a perfected predator, a predator that has evolved to extract resources from its host without killing it.Parasites are much smaller than their hosts. The characteristics of parasites depends on the type of parasite they are. For instance, endoparasites are much more modified and many have lost sensory or even digestive systems in favor of developing larger reproductive organs and producing lots of descendants. Ectoparasites are usually less modified with respect to their free-living relatives, but have structures and behaviors related to finding the host and remaining attached to it. Obligatory parasites are also more specialized than facultative parasites, and some species are specific parasites of a single host, while others are capable of parasitizing several species. All these different strategies involve diverse modifications, acquisitions and adaptations. Some parasites may become symbionts, by becoming gradually less damaging to their hosts and more specifically related with them.
