What else can I help you with?
What effect does parasites presence usually have on its host?
it slowly kill the animal
What will the presence of parasites do to an animal?
the inability of the the host to maintain homeostasis
Are parasites usually smaller than the host?
Yes
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.
What are the aspects of a parasitic relationship?
In parasitic relationships, one organism benefits at the expense of another. The parasite benefits by deriving nutrients or resources from the host, often leading to harm or negative effects on the host. Parasites have evolved various strategies to exploit hosts for survival, such as feeding on host tissues or fluids, while the host may exhibit defensive mechanisms to limit the parasite's impact.
What are animals that live off host organisms called?
Parasitism .
Why will parasites die if the host was killed?
if the host dies the nutrients die with it so parasites will die as well, until they find a new host
How do parasites help their hosts?
Most parasites don't kill their hosts, because it doesn't take all the nutrients from the host. It only needs a certain amount of nutrients. So it will cause some bad effects on host, but it won't cause complete destruction.
What happens to the participants in parasitism?
The parasites (predator) live in or on the host (prey), usually harming or weakening them but not immediately killing them.
What are the lives of parasites supported by?
You worded your question pretty confusingly.Parasites live off the host that they are infecting, so technically the parasites are begins supported by the host itself. The role of the parasites are to infect a suitable host and start eating their energy up. That could result in the death of the host, when the population of the parasites grow.partnershostsholderscarriers
What are some examples of parasites that kill their hosts and how do they impact the ecosystem?
Some examples of parasites that kill their hosts include parasitic wasps, liver flukes, and malaria parasites. When these parasites kill their hosts, it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem by reducing the population of the host species. This can have cascading effects on other species that rely on the host for food or other resources, potentially leading to changes in the overall biodiversity and functioning of the ecosystem.
Why does a predator kill its prey but a parasite rarely kill its host?
Usually, parasites are much smaller than the host is, whereas predators could be either small or larger than the prey. Parasites have a very high reproduction rate but the predators reproduce slowly.
