The difference between fungi and parasite?
Fungi are a group of organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter or by forming symbiotic relationships, while parasites are organisms that live on or in a host organism and rely on the host for nutrients, sometimes causing harm to the host. Fungi have a wide range of ecological roles, while parasites are specialized in relying on a host for survival.
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
Is a pathogen unicellular?
It depends, pathogens can be multicellular (cestoda, fungi), unicellular (bacteria) or they can have non-cellular build (viruses, prions).
Can you ldentify which infectious diseases are caused by fungi and which are caused by parasites?
Infectious diseases caused by fungi include candidiasis, aspergillosis, and ringworm. Infectious diseases caused by parasites include malaria, toxoplasmosis, and giardiasis.
Do fungi obtain nutrients by decomposing organic and inorganic materials as well as acting as parasites?
Yes, fungi can obtain nutrients through decomposition of organic matter like dead plants and animals, as well as inorganic materials such as rocks and soil. Some fungi can also act as parasites by obtaining nutrients from living organisms, often causing diseases in plants and animals.

Are all fungi parasitic?
Not all fungi are parasites; only some of them are. Most are saprobes, decaying dead organic matter.
Can parasites be protozoa fungi or multicellular organisms?
Yes, parasites can be protozoa, fungi, or multicellular organisms. Common examples include protozoan parasites like Plasmodium (causative agent of malaria), fungal parasites like Candida (causative agent of yeast infections), and multicellular parasites like tapeworms and roundworms. Each of these types of parasites have adaptations to live and feed off their hosts.

What is some bacteria viruses parasites and fungi?
Bacteria fungi is an example of a bacterial disease. Parasitic worms is an example of a parasitic disease. Both can make you sick.
What are four difference?
bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites
Can some fungi live as saprophytes and also as parasites?
Yes, some fungi have the ability to switch between a saprophytic lifestyle (feeding on dead organic matter) and a parasitic lifestyle (feeding on living organisms). This flexibility allows them to thrive in a variety of environments and to adapt their feeding strategies based on nutrient availability.
