- One organism lives off another
- Beneficial to only one
- Tries to harm but not kill
- Infects animals and plants
- Causes organisms to evolve and create symbiotic relationships
Reflection:
Somethings I learned about parasitism is that they don't try to kill their host. They don't kill their host because if they kill their host then they no longer have something to feed off of. Some things I knew about it were that it was beneficial only to one, the parasite. I also knew that it was one organism living off of another. I like this objective as it is fun to learn about how the world is interacted with.

What are some examples of parasites and what are their preferred hosts? Do they all have to be bugs or can they be any kind of organism?
ReplyDeleteSome examples of parasites are the deer tick and the deer. They prefer to attack deer. They don't have to be bugs, they can be any organism that uses another organism.
